Doug Burgum, President-elect Trump's choice for Interior Department, has close ties to billionaire Harold Hamm, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest in energy policy.
Democrats and activists expressed fears that Burgum's connections to the oil industry could lead to undue influence on his policies, particularly regarding federal oil and gas leasing.
Tony Carrk of Accountable.US highlighted the conflict of interest posed by Burgum's friendship with Hamm, who represents significant interests in the oil and gas sector.
Burgum is expected to face scrutiny from the Senate committee regarding his relationships with oil and gas executives and their impact on energy policies.
