Republican leadership in Congress asked government agencies to not move forward on new regulations during the transition period, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday.
McCarthy noted a similar request was made by the incoming Obama administration in 2008.
President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign has promised “a temporary moratorium on all new regulation, canceling overarching executive orders and a thorough review to identify and eliminate unnecessary regulations that kill jobs and bloat government,” according to the official transition website.
CNN has reached out to the White House for response.
