Energy Sec Had Secret Conversation With CCP Official Before SPR Release

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm secretly contacted the Chinese government's top energy official two days before the Biden administration announced they would be dipping into the Strategic Energy Reserve in 2021.

UNBELIEVABLE: Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm secretly consulted a CCP official TWO DAYS before the U.S. decided to tap into the petroleum reserves in 2021.

"Secretary Granholm's multiple closed-door meetings with a CCP-connected energy official raise serious questions about the level of Chinese influence on the Biden administration's energy agenda," APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital.

"Instead of focusing on creating real energy independence for America, Granholm has been too busy parroting Chinese energy propaganda and insisting 'we can all learn from what China is doing,'" Sutherland continued.

"China ramped up its purchases of crude oil from Russia and the United States to boost its own reserves, even as oil prices surged and President Biden called for a coordinated release," House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and former GOP Rep. Fred Upton wrote to Granholm last year.

In 2021, the GOP was raising questions about this tie-in and if Biden was still connected to BHR. The Biden administration claimed the move would "Address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump" and "Help lower energy costs." How does that even work if the oil is going to the Chinese? It's not the American people it was helping.

"China is profiting from President Biden's political abuse of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve," Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking member John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said earlier this year.
