Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm faced significant backlash last Friday following a Fox News Digital report revealing her two communications with a high-ranking Chinese government official prior to the White House's announcement to utilize emergency oil reserves.

Americans for Public Trust uncovered, through internal Department of Energy (DOE) calendars, that Granholm met with China National Energy Administration Chairman and senior Chinese Communist Party member, Zhang Jianhua, on November 19 and 21, 2021.

Just two days later, the White House disclosed their intention to release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

Before apprising the American public of their controversial plan to deplete the SPR at unprecedented rates, reportedly for political gain before the midterm elections, Secretary Granholm apparently had confidential discussions with the Chinese Communist Party, noted House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Since then, under Granholm's stewardship, the DOE has offloaded millions of barrels of oil from our SPR to China, the world's leading polluter.

McMorris Rodgers declared on Friday that her committee will insist on "answers and full transparency" from Granholm, underscoring the urgency for Congress to pass the Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act.
