One of former President Donald Trump’s top critics in Congress is asking major oil companies for more information about a meeting Trump had with their executives in which he allegedly promised to roll back environmental regulations if they spend $1 billion on his campaign.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, announced Tuesday that he sent letters to nine companies including ExxonMobil, Chevron and the American Petroleum Institute, the lobbying arm for oil and gas companies.
The letters came after the Washington Post reported that Trump met with oil executives and told them they would get a good deal if they raised $1 billion for his campaign because they would make far more money when he rolled environmental back regulations once he got in office.
