[Democrats Regain Control of Congress: US Energy Secretary Welcomes Congressional Investigations] Golden Finance reports that on November 11, US Energy Secretary Wright stated that he welcomes any future investigations that Democratic lawmakers may initiate. Democrats will take control of congressional committees next year, at which point they will have the authority to investigate the Trump administration's activities in the energy sector. Wright stated, "We welcome any investigations and are happy to explain everything we have done." Earlier this year, Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, requested information from the Department of Energy and other government departments regarding their involvement in managing Venezuelan oil revenues after the US captured Venezuelan leader. Some Democrats have also indicated they will investigate the Trump administration's actions regarding the withdrawal of clean energy support policies.
