EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) sent a letter to the Justice Department urging it to investigate China’s involvement in the energy and environment sector of the United States.

Gooden was joined by nine of his Republican colleagues to express their concern about China’s manipulation of energy and environmental policy through providing financial support to certain nonprofit organizations. The letter, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expresses concerns that foreign governments are helping to fund campaigns that could undermine U.S. energy and infrastructure.
