John Kerry’s role in the Biden administration and his high-level climate negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party are being probed by House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.
“To date, you have failed to respond to any of our requests,” Comer wrote in a letter to Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate, demanding information about his office’s actions, spending, and staffing.
“Yet you continue to engage in activities that could undermine our economic health, skirt congressional authority, and threaten foreign policy under the guise of climate advocacy.
“The committee requests documents and information to understand your role and provide necessary transparency over the SPEC and its activities,” he continued. “As a member of the president’s cabinet, you should be representing the United States’ interests. Your statements, however, consistently show disregard for American national security and taxpayer dollars.”
[I’d be more interested in Kerry’s contacts in Iran, especially during the Trump administration. At least in this case, Kerry has a legitimate diplomatic portfolio, although Congress has every right to ask what he’s doing with it. — Ed]
