Rep. Bishop Asks White House Official About a National Monument

SPOILER: The White House doesn’t give an answer

 

WASHINGTON – As Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, Rep. Rob Bishop (UT-01) questioned the White House’s Managing Director of the Council on Environmental Quality, Christy Goldfuss.

 

During the hearing of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Rep. Bishop asked Ms. Goldfuss if her office was, “actively working on a national monument proposal for Bears Ears in San Juan County.”

 

As an employee of President Obama’s administration, Ms. Goldfuss said she couldn’t talk about a National Monument. (Video of exchange is available HERE.)
