Energy Sec. Granholm failed to reveal stock holdings; GOP calls for probe

A senior Republican on the Senate Energy panel is calling for an investigation of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. Wyoming Senator John Barasso’s request comes after Granholm told the committee she mistakenly provided false information about her family’s stock holdings in testimony earlier this year. Barrasso asked the Energy Department’s inspector general to investigate Granholm after she sent a letter to the committee revealing she owned financial stocks as recently as May. That contradicts testimony she gave to the panel in April.
