    Donald J. Trump Is Combating Bureaucratic Abuse and Holding Federal Agencies Accountable

    Under the Obama Administration, a lack of transparency and accountability allowed Federal agencies to commit horrible abuses against the American people.

    Agencies abused their power by imposing unlawful and secret interpretations of regulations, as well as by threatening families and businesses with unfair and unexpected penalties.

    In 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) threatened a family with up to $20 million in fines for building an environmentally-friendly pond for livestock without first seeking EPA permission, even though Congress had exempted these ponds from EPA’s reach.

    A 77-year-old United States Navy veteran was imprisoned and ordered to pay $130,000 after the EPA – under the Clean Water Act – declared several small ponds the veteran created to fight wildfires as federally protected navigable waters.

    Going forward, agencies will have to give people fair notice of any complaint against them and a chance to respond.
