DETROIT (AP) — A former Volkswagen employee is accusing the company of deleting documents and obstructing justice, after the Environmental Protection Agency accused VW of cheating on emissions tests. Daniel Donovan says in a whistleblower lawsuit that he was wrongfully fired last year after refusing to take part in the deletions. He says he instead reported them to a supervisor. The lawsuit says that the document deletion continued for three days after the allegations from the EPA and despite a hold order from the Justice Department. VW says Donovan's claim is without merit, and that his departure wasn't connected to the emissions issue.
