U.S. Congress

Trump’s former Secretary of Energy Rick Perry is rejoining Dakota Access Pipeline company Energy Transfer LP’s board of directors this year. His return to a pipeline company responsible for so much climate destruction is alarming.

While serving as the Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry not only supported the fossil fuel industry by meeting with major coal leaders and proposing to bailout the entire coal industry, but he has been mired in Trump’s Ukraine scandal.

Eventually House Democrats were left with no choice but to subpoena Perry given his negotiation of gas deals with Ukrainian leaders.

As Energy Secretary during the climate crisis, Rick Perry had a duty to everyone across the country to support the expansion of renewable energy projects. But now he will return to Energy Transfer LP’s board, further enabling destructive energy projects and threatening our climate.

Given this and with other Trump officials like Interior Secretary David Bernhardt standing to privately benefit from deals made as a public servant, Congress must investigate Rick Perry.

The American people deserve public servants who will not use their positions to reap financial benefits. I am counting on you to exercise oversight responsibilities by investigating Trump’s former Energy Secretary Rick Perry.
