Bayer Glyphosate Fight Escalates As Republicans and Democrat Lawmakers Accuse EPA Of Helping Shield Roundup Maker
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confronted EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin over Bayer-Monsanto and glyphosate, adding new pressure to a fast-moving fight already unfolding at the Supreme Court and in Congress over whether the maker of Roundup should be shielded from lawsuits.
The pesticide maker Bayer will argue before the U.S. Supreme Court today that it should be immune from lawsuits if its products are found to cause cancer. The Court's decision would set a wide-ranging precedent for similar cases and nullify laws protecting Iowans' right to sue over the health-related effects of glyphosate.
