President Joe Biden’s secretary of energy revealed she gave false personal financial testimony during her Senate confirmation hearing in 2021.
Jennifer Granholm lied to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) during an April 2021 testimony.
“Do you own individual stocks, Madam Secretary?” Hawley asked Granholm in that hearing.
“No,” replied Granholm, “I’m invested in mutual funds.”
Hawley lamented the Biden administrator’s perjury in a Friday Twitter post: “She lied to me.”
Biden’s energy secretary claims her unequivocal denial of stock ownership was just a mistake on her part.
Fox News further reported:
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted in a letter Friday that she made a false statement when she recently told lawmakers she didn’t own any individual stocks.
While Granholm divested from a variety of stocks in 2021, she acknowledged in the letter — which was sent to Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee leadership — that she maintained shares of six companies. On April 20, however, Granholm testified under oath that she had sold all of her shares of individual companies.
“As you know, as part of the confirmation process before this Committee, in 2021 I divested from assets that could be in conflict with my official duties,” Granholm wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News Digital. “I did, however, retain assets that were determined by Government ethics officials to not conflict with my official duties.”
