Andrew Gilmore at 6:51 PM ET
From the page: "The US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform [official website] issued a subpoena [press release] Wednesday to compel the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [official website] to turn over documents relating to White House involvement in the EPA decision to deny California's request for a greenhouse emissions waiver in December 2007 [JURIST report]. In a statement, Committee Chairman Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) [official website] said:
The Committee has found evidence that EPA officials met with the White House regarding California's motor vehicle regulations. Subsequently, EPA blocked California from moving forward with its landmark program to address climate change. Unfortunately, EPA has refused to disclose the substance and extent of its communications with the White House. The Committee must have these documents in order to understand how the agency's decision was made."
