A top Republican senator is demanding answers from the Biden administration about the White House’s decision to send a large number of administration officials to the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Scotland at taxpayers’ expense.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) sent a letter to eight agency heads including to Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, requesting details on federal costs to send Energy Department employees (DOE) to a summit that seeks to reduce global carbon emissions.
