Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley on Tuesday confronted Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm over previous testimony about her stock trades that was allegedly misleading.
Granholm told Hawley in April 2023 that she did not own any individual stocks, but she corrected herself in June 2023, Fox News reported. Hawley asked her during a Senate Energy Committee hearing on Tuesday why she misled the committee in her 2023 testimony.
“Oh my goodness,” Granholm said, before Hawley repeated the question. “I believed that I had sold all individual stocks, and I was incorrect.”
