But now we know why
Biden adviser Susan Rice to divest $2.7M stake in company building oil pipeline administration supported
Federal ethics watchdog ordered Rice to sell stakes in more than three dozen corporate entities worth more than $30M
A federal ethics watchdog agency ordered Susan Rice, the director of President Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, to sell a lucrative stake in Canadian energy firm Enbridge Inc. earlier this this month, just weeks after his administration allowed the company's hotly debated Line 3 oil pipeline to proceed.
The Office of Government Ethics directed Rice to divest from more than three dozen corporate entities in which she, her husband, or a family trust held shares, due to potential conflicts of interest, according to filings dated July 9 and obtained by FOX Business. The holdings include shares of Enbridge worth more than $2.7 million on the date of the filing.
In late June, Biden administration officials defended a Trump-era decision to grant permits for the Line 3 pipeline. The decision roiled environmental activists and Native American groups and came just months after Biden shuttered the Keystone oil pipeline amid similar protests.
Rice’s stake in Enbridge is one of several stock holdings that seemingly conflicted with some of the Biden administration’s most prominent policy initiatives, including efforts to lower pharmaceutical drug prices, crack down on the projects most responsible for carbon emissions, and target Big Tech firms. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-susan-rice-divest-enbridge-pipeline-company-stake
