Two key House members call to investigate Russian 'collusion' with anti-fracking green groups


Russia actually spending millions to destroy the US economy. Very illegal, unlike Trump Jr meeting with a Russian citizen lawyer.

Russia's goal is to "suppress the widespread adoption of fracking in Europe and the U.S.," according to a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin from House Science, Space and Technology Committee chairman Lamar Smith and energy subcommittee chairman Randy Weber.

"If you connect the dots, it is clear that Russia is funding U.S. environmental groups in an effort to suppress our domestic oil and gas industry, specifically hydraulic fracking," said Mr. Smith, Texas Republican, in a Friday statement.

"They have established an elaborate scheme that funnels money through shell companies in Bermuda," he said. "This scheme may violate federal law and certainly distorts the U.S. energy market. The American people deserve to know the truth and I am confident Secretary Mnuchin will investigate the allegations."
