Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Dan Brouillette ordered a review of all training at DOE facilities after a GOP Senator questioned one of its laboratories spending money on “white privilege” trainings for its executives. The secretary didn’t know about the trainings and has now asked the DOE Inspector General to investigate, the department said.
The review was requested on Aug. 13 by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) “to ensure that taxpayers are no longer required to fund such divisive and ineffective trainings.”
