Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee called for a criminal investigation of a former agency chair accused of lying to Congress about his private email use.
Rafael Moure-Eraso, former head of the Chemical Safety Board, has come under fire for using a personal email account to conduct government affairs in a number of congressional hearings on his management of the agency.
The embattled official said under oath at a June 2014 hearing that he had stopped using private emails "about a year and a half" before his appearance, Reps. Jason Chaffetz and Elijah Cummings said in a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch Wednesday.
But the Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general — which oversees the Chemical Safety Board — later gave the Oversight Committee evidence that Moure-Eraso had continued conducting government affairs on his private account "until a much later date," Chaffetz and Cummings said.
Moure-Eraso also falsely testified that he had consulted with the Chemical Safety Board's general counsel before signing off on a request to tap the emails of two of his own employees, a claim the inspector general later debunked, the letter noted.
