Congressional Republicans on Monday intensified probes into the Biden administration over its energy and climate policies by demanding that top officials disclose more information amid concerns about potential ethics violations and impacts to the U.S. economy.
The House Natural Resources Committee asked Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to turn over any documents and communications with family members related to her duties that, Republicans say, could present conflicts of interest or run afoul of ethics rules.
The Natural Resources panel wants documents from Ms. Haaland by June 26 related to communications she may have had with her daughter, Somah Haaland, about her anti-oil-drilling activism with Pueblo Action Alliance, a New Mexico environmental group that Ms. Haaland was previously involved with. A financial disclosure form shows Mr. Sayre is tied to the tribal group Pueblo of Laguna that receives federal funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs within the Interior Department. Mr. Sayre consults for the Laguna Development Corporation, which is the business arm for the Pueblo of Laguna.
Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee and Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee want information by June 19 about proposed climate financial disclosure rules for companies that GOP lawmakers say “seek to ingrain ESG and climate-related factors throughout the financial sector.”
