James Comer suggests debanking efforts target conservative energy moguls

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) claimed that the cases of debanking he’s investigated included an unusual number of people in the energy industry that lean politically conservative.

As Chair of the House Oversight Committee, Comer said there are already investigations into instances of Americans being debanked or prevented from opening savings accounts at certain financial institutions. While Comer acknowledged the prevalence of environmental, social, and governance policies that dictate institutions take on more climate-friendly practices, he implied these cases seem to go above and beyond.
