McConnell calls for Biden to withdraw nominee linked to eco-terrorist plot
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is calling on President Biden to "immediately" pull Tracy Stone-Manning's nomination for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director over her link to an eco-terrorist plot and her apparently misleading answers to senators about it.
"We now know that President Biden’s nominee to run the Bureau of Land Management lied to the Senate about her alleged participation in eco-terrorism," McConnell said in a statement to Fox News. "The White House should immediately withdraw her nomination." The controversy surrounds Stone-Manning's ties to a "tree-spiking" operation meant to sabotage logging efforts in the 1980s. During her Senate confirmation process, Stone-Manning told senators in a questionnaire that she had never been the target of a law enforcement investigation.More Related News
