I hope all is well. My colleague Timothy Cama and I are working on a story about you, Gautier Cole Killian, who likes to go by Cole Killian, being listed in EPA's staff directory (please see attached). You are working for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, as reported by WIRED, which we will say in our story (please see https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/). I have a few questions about this, which are: -- Have you started at EPA? If not, when will you start at EPA? Earthjustice/Sierra Club 2025-EPA-05146 ED_018033_00000315-00001 SC_EVERSPLIT0031991 -- EPA's staff directory lists you as a "Federal Detailee." What kind of political appointee are you at EPA? Are you a special government employee at EPA? -- Do you have a comment about being listed in EPA's staff directory? Please get back to me as soon as possible. My deadline is noon ET today but the sooner you get back to me, the more it helps my reporting. Please email me at kbogardus@eenews.net or call my cell phone at 202-247-7844. Thank you for your help and talk to you later!
