It was a remarkable moment at the hearing for President Trump’s choice to run the Interior Department.
“You sound like just another corrupt official," Wyden told Bernhardt, whose children were in attendance during his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Wyden added that Bernhardt, who served at the agency under President George W. Bush before becoming a lobbyist, was"so conflicted" that “if you get confirmed, you’re going to have to disqualify yourself from so many issues I don’t know how you will go about your day.”
As a former solicitor at the Interior Department during the Bush administration, Bernhardt brings considerable legal expertise to his current role. Perhaps nowhere is Bernhard’s particular experience more valuable than with the Endangered Species Act. Once, just before moving over to the solicitor’s office in 2005, Bernhardtthat would make it easier for development to take place in the habitats of endangered species.
This is not the first time Wyden has gone off against a leader of the Interior Department. In 2017, Wyden voted to confirm Zinke, a decision he said a year later he“I said I would support your nomination, and I did,” Wyden told Zinke during a hearing last March, nine months before the interior secretary resigned amid various ethics investigations. “I will tell you right now, as of today, it is one of the biggest regrets in my public service.

SarahRiggsAmico theodore_nadia great fire side chat Thank You That’s great news! AOC can move there! Now all they have to do is find someone with a lot of money to finance this new infrastructure. It cannot be the US government. Based on bondholders getting screwed there and their utility being corrupt and bankrupt, good luck with all that.
