TL;DR

The top Republican on the Senate Energy panel, John Barrasso, has called for an investigation into Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm after she admitted to mistakenly providing false information about her family's stock holdings in testimony earlier this year. Granholm revealed that she owned financial stocks as recently as May, contradicting testimony she gave to the panel in April. She also said her husband owned previously undisclosed stock in Ford Motor Co., a key player in the Biden administration's efforts to improve fuel efficiency for cars and trucks and boost sales of electric vehicles. Granholm said she takes ethical conduct seriously and regrets the accidental omission of her spouse's interest in Ford.
