House Republicans are investigating a road trip U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm took this summer to promote the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas), who chairs the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs, announced their investigation on Tuesday morning after recent reports that Ms. Granholm’s taxpayer-funded electric vehicle road trip devolved into chaos.
