FIRST ON FOX: Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York is calling for an impeachment inquiry into Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. Tenney accused Granholm of giving false testimony to Congress about her family’s stock ownership.
During a House Science and Technology Committee hearing, Tenney made these demands and highlighted a series of violations that Granholm has allegedly committed since taking office in 2021.
“Secretary Granholm has repeatedly violated the Hatch Act,” Tenney stated. “She owned Proterra stock while President Biden promoted the company, and she personally promoted companies she had stock in.”
Tenney continued, “Furthermore, she lied under oath to Congress, claiming she did not own any individual stocks. The evidence for these charges is available in the articles I submitted.”

Tenney also pointed out that Granholm’s actions go against the Department of Energy’s ethical guidelines, which emphasize prioritizing public trust and placing loyalty to the Constitution and ethical principles above private gain.
In response to Tenney’s accusations, Granholm admitted to making a mistake during her Senate hearing in April, where she falsely testified that she didn’t own any individual stocks.

In addition, Granholm recently learned that her husband owned shares in Ford Motor Company, which were subsequently sold.
