EPA Email Scandal, Pebble Mine Investigation

The Environmental Protection Agency reported a computer crash in 2010 that resulted in the loss of emails belonging to former employee Philip North. North is a key figure in a House Oversight Committee investigation regarding the veto of the Pebble Mine project in Alaska. Critics allege the EPA's decision was based on political influence rather than sound science, while the agency claims the records are unrecoverable.
