Climate Envoy John Kerry, who reports directly to President Joe Biden from a cabinet-level position in the State Department, would not disclose the names of various staff in his office when asked to do so on July 13 by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.).

Pointing to a mostly empty org chart labeled, “Who’s In Charge?” Mr. Mast asked Mr. Kerry to share the names of staff under his authority.
