民主党议员正要求获取关于前白宫官员布里塔尼·凯尔姆（Brittany Kelm）在一家加利福尼亚州石油公司工作情况的信息。
Democratic lawmakers are seeking information on former White House official Brittany Kelm's work with a California oil company.
根据POLITICO获得的一封信件，加州国会民主党人正在寻求关于一名白宫前官员及其在离职前不久向一家石油公司提供政府支持的详细信息。
California congressional Democrats are seeking details about a former White House official and the government support she gave to an oil company shortly before she took a job there, according to a letter POLITICO obtained.
布里塔尼·凯尔姆于8月离开白宫，出任“黑貂离岸公司”（Sable Offshore Corp.）的政策与商业副总裁。
Brittany Kelm left the White House in August to take a job as Sable Offshore Corp.'s vice president of policy and commercial.
联邦参议员亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff）和亚历克斯·帕迪拉（Alex Padilla）以及民主党众议员萨卢德·卡尔瓦哈尔（Salud Carbajal）于周三向凯尔姆发送了这封信。凯尔姆曾是一名石油行业员工，在白宫担任国家能源主导委员会的高级能源顾问一年多。凯尔姆的职责之一是帮助“黑貂公司”重启其在圣巴巴拉海岸外的石油平台生产，这是一个受到特朗普政府赞赏、但加州政府官员在发生漏油事件后一直反对的项目。
Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, along with Democratic Rep. Salud Carbajal sent the letter Wednesday to Kelm, a former oil industry employee who spent more than a year at the White House as a senior energy adviser on the National Energy Dominance Council. One of Kelm’s responsibilities was helping Sable restart production its oil platforms off the coast of Santa Barbara, a project the Trump administration lauded but that California government officials have opposed after an oil spill.
这项质询继POLITICO今年夏天的报道之后，是民主党人发出的最新警告信号，表明如果他们在11月的大选中赢得国会控制权，可能会对特朗普政府展开潜在的监督调查。民主党议员此前已表示，他们将调查特朗普能源政策的多个方面，包括其在委内瑞拉的石油相关项目以及关键矿产协议。
The inquiry, which follows a POLITICO report this summer, is the latest warning shot Democrats are making on potential oversight investigations they may start into the Trump administration if they win control of Congress in November’s election. Democratic lawmakers have signaled they would look into multiple aspects of Trump’s energy policy, including its oil-related projects in Venezuela and its critical minerals deals.
