A watchdog group is warning that Deputy Secretary of the Interior Department Tommy Beaudreau, who was confirmed earlier this month to serve in the number two slot at the department, carries “massive potential conflicts” into his new role.
“With the extent of potential conflicts posed by his former clients in the offshore wind industry, the American public needs to know how he can lead initiatives in the sector while still adhering to federal ethics rules and the Biden Ethics Pledge,” Protect the Public’s Trust declared in a press release.
