As the Trump administration continues to reduce the number of workers at multiple federal agencies, there has been a record number of whistleblowers coming forward. 

The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) is a group that defends whistleblowers who raise issues about the lack of environmental ethics by the federal government. The executive director of the group told E&E News last Thursday it has seen a “20-fold increase” in whistleblowers coming forward.
