A top Republican lawmaker is pressing Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for answers as ethical scrutiny grows over her husband's prior ownership of Ford stock that some watchdogs allege could have posed a"conflict of interest."
The senator added,"It is clear this cannot happen while Ford's top lobbyist remains on your Advisory Board." The complaint stemmed from Granholm alleging to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in mid-June that she only became aware of her husband's Ford shares on May 13. The shares were sold on May 15 and valued at over $2,400, according to Granholm. In the letter to the committee, Granholm also noted that she"mistakenly" testified in April about her now owning"any individual stocks," instead meaning to say she"did not own any conflicting stocks.
In 2021, Ford was notably awarded $25 million to"develop and demonstrate five hydrogen fuel cell electric Class-6 Super Duty trucks targeting cost, payload, towing, and refueling times that are equivalent to conventional gasoline trucks." Granholm and Vice President Kamala Harris announced the project and others at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
