REPORT: Biden-Harris Administration Hid Energy Documents to Justify Agenda

The House Oversight Committee has uncovered yet another alleged scandal in the Biden-Harris administration.

If the allegations are true, the administration buried an internal study on natural gas.

The study reportedly proves that the moratorium placed on new projects was not necessary.

Burying the Evidence

The House Oversight Committee is pointing to a 2023 study to show that the Department of Energy’s January pausing of new permits for liquefied natural gas export projects was unnecessary.

The pausing of these permits has cost the country thousands of possible jobs in the industry as well as billions in revenue.

The administration, however, justified the pausing of these permits by saying that it needed to conduct a study on the matter, which would not be completed until sometime in 2025, burying the study that had already been conducted on the impact of such permits.

Not only that, but the administration has been stonewalling the Oversight Committee in information regarding the study.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), in part, wrote, "The clear implication is that one or more draft studies do exist, and DOE is attempting to cover that up.

"The Committee demands that DOE finally provide complete and accurate information related to the Committee's investigation and all relevant studies or drafts thereof that may have been conducted or prepared prior to DOE’s January 26, 2024, imposition of the Biden-Harris LNG export ban.”

Government Accountability & Oversight attorney Chris Horner called this a full-blown scandal.

He stated, "The Energy Department says, on second thought, it has no records at all.

“How did so many potentially responsive records vanish overnight? What happened was the Department of Energy effectively rewrote our request to engineer this reversal and a seemingly less-damning 'no records' response.

"This confirms our information that the purported rationale for this reckless January 2024 'pause' on further natural gas exports was a fabrication: the study was already performed in 2023 and was spiked.

"This administration did not spike the study because it supported their desired strangulation of fossil energy. The information that led us to this inquiry was, in fact, that the study was spiked because it surprised the administration by once again touting the benefits of natural gas exports."

I cannot help but laugh at Biden’s claim that this would be the most transparent administration in modern history.

As I have noted before, at some point, history will properly judge this administration for what it really was, but I doubt I will be alive when the full truth comes out.

My only hope at this point is that after Biden leaves office, someone will release a tell-all that will give the American people an accurate portrayal of the coverups and scandals involved in this administration.
