Rep. Jim Banks, R- Indiana, said on Tuesday that he’ll call for U.S.-based environmentalist groups allegedly receiving Kremlin dollars to answer to Congress if his party wins back control after November’s midterm elections.
He claimed such groups were ‘undermining national security’ and influencing the Biden administration’s green policies as the White House promotes clean energy as a replacement for Russian oil and gas.
Representatives from organizations like Sea Change and the Sierra Club would need to answer to multiple committees, Banks explained, including the House Judiciary and Oversight panels.
