House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) and House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairman Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) are demanding documents regarding Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm’s four taxpayer-funded trips in five months to Puerto Rico.
“The frequency and duration of these trips raise concerns regarding your attention to your other duties, particularly in light of climbing energy costs and intensifying threats to the United States’ energy independence,” McMorris Rodgers and Griffith told Granholm in an April 24 letter.
