The confirmation hearing for David Bernhardt, who has been nominated to lead the Interior Department, is today. We've been investigating Bernhardt, a former oil industry lobbyist, since former Secretary Ryan Zinke stepped down: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
The @WashingtonPost reported that Bernhardt has “so many potential conflicts of interest he has to carry a small card listing them all.” washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
We sued Interior for records of his compliance with ethics requirements and to find out if he's been in contact with his former clients: americanoversight.org/new-lawsuit-se…
A cabinet members' calendars show their priorities. Bernhardt insists he does not need to keep a detailed daily calendar, raising questions about whether Interior is breaking federal records law. From @MotherJones: motherjones.com/environment/20…
We filed a FOIA request for David Bernhardt's and Ryan Zinke's calendars — and only got a link to their limited, public calendars: americanoversight.org/document/doi-r…
We want to know if outside groups are influencing decisions regarding the future of the Endangered Species Act, given that Bernhardt worked for oil and gas industry clients who were opposed to strong ESA enforcement: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
