Top Federal Energy Regulatory Commission official Allison Clements attended a private event in January with funders of her former employer the Energy Foundation, records showed.
"Meeting regularly with far left organizations she used to work for creates a troubling impression," IER President Tom Pyle told Fox News Digital."Briefing the funders of these groups on the ‘FERC opportunity’ is inescapably improper."
"General ethics rules dictate a government employee should not ask for contributions from someone who is regulated by, does business with, seeks official action by or has interests that may be affected by the government agency or department the employee works for," Arnold told Fox News Digital. "It would be important to know what type of event this was and what capacity and role she appeared in—including whether it was a fundraising event, a closed event or open to the public, and whether her appearance was to fundraise for her former employer," she continued.
"The Commissioner has an open door policy, and subject to ex parte restrictions, has held hundreds of stakeholder meetings during her time on the Commission, including with representatives of utilities, regional grid operators, gas pipeline companies, consumer advocates, NGOs, and trade associations," a spokesperson for Clements told Fox News Digital.And the Energy Foundation similarly said the event was part of its regular slate of industry briefings.
