New Investigation Threatens Donald Trump

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, has set his sights on former President Donald Trump, threatening a new investigation into his reported promises to Big Oil. The Washington Post revealed details of a deal allegedly offered by Trump to top oil executives at a Mar-a-Lago dinner last month. The deal reportedly involved raising $1 billion for his campaign in exchange for reversing dozens of President Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and preventing new rules.

Whitehouse, who heads the Senate Budget Committee and has been investigating Big Oil, expressed his intention to look into the reported revelations from Trump’s dinner with oil executives. He described it as a “natural extension” of the ongoing investigation. The Senate Budget Committee and House Oversight and Accountability Committee have been delving into the oil industry for years, uncovering discrepancies between public support for climate regulations and private skepticism.

The allegations against Big Oil have been met with denials, with companies like Exxon, BP, and Shell insisting they are committed to a greener future. Whitehouse raised concerns about potential corruption, drawing parallels to a Politico article detailing executive orders being prepared by Big Oil for Trump to sign if he wins the upcoming presidential election.

As the election draws closer, the Biden administration has been rolling out new environmental rules, including measures to increase drilling costs for Big Oil on public lands. With the possibility of a rematch between Trump and Biden looming, the investigation into Trump’s reported dealings with Big Oil adds another layer of intrigue to the political landscape.
