Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) is urging the U.S. House committees, with jurisdiction over U.S. energy policies, to investigate evidence that Russia has made a concerted effort to have western nations, including the United States, become dependent on Russian fossil fuels, by funding a social media campaign and activist groups.

“So, there’s also evidence in that report that the Russians have done the same thing here in America, funding activist organizations that have tried to impact and influence American energy policy,” Johnson told host of NTD Capitol Report, Steve Lance, during a March 9 interview.
Steve Lance is the host of Capitol Report, a political news show based in Washington aimed at providing a direct channel to the voices and people who shape policy in America. Capitol Report features all of the political news of the day with expert interviews and analysis.
