The hate Trump media will do whatever they can, spread whatever kind of fake news they can to try and smear Trump and his cabinet members. Like this little gem being spread by the media, first written by the Associated Press. Claiming that as toxic waste sites in Houston flooded, the EPA is not on the scene. Like this ABC hack in Indiana:

Other AP writers are spreading this lie too:

There’s just one problem with fake news. There’s always a truthful answer. The EPA has found 13 Superfund sites possibly damaged after Harvey. That’s pretty good for not being in Houston at all wouldn’t you say?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said Saturday that 13 Superfund sites have been flooded or could be facing damage as a result of Hurricane Harvey.
The agency said that two of the sites, which are areas that are polluted with hazardous material and require extensive cleanup, had been inspected and do not require immediate cleanup.
Eleven sites have proven to be inaccessible for response teams, however the agency said teams are in place to inspect the areas once flooding from the storm subsides.
In total, the EPA said that it had conducted initial assessments at 41 Superfund sites in impacted areas using “aerial images” and contact with with those responsible for regular cleanup activities.
