Far-left media 'watchdog' shields Jennifer Granholm from conflict of interest reportage, but paid her retainer
Fox News
Media Matters defended Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm from criticism of her recent holdings in the green energy sector after President Biden virtually-toured and touted an electric omnibus manufacturer she had seven-figure investments in until taking her current post
President Biden took a virtual tour of Proterra's Greenville, S.C., plant earlier this week and has touted the company as part of his multitrillion-dollar infrastructure package. However, as the Washington Free Beacon reported, Granholm – a former Michigan Democratic governor – had between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 invested in the Burlingame, Calif.-based vehicle manufacturer: a figure gleaned from her recent federal financial disclosure report. Granholm pledged to relinquish her board position with Proterra if confirmed to the Biden cabinet, and also divest from a handful of other companies including a solar panel company and North Carolina electric utility Duke Energy.More Related News
