By Ben Whedon

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Friday launched a probe seeking documents related Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry’s dealings with environmental activist organizations to bring the U.S. into an anti-coal bloc.

Kerry announced the U.S.’s entry into the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) last year. Comer previously secured documents from from the administration connected with Kerry’s office, including off-the-record communications between Kerry, his office, and myriad environmental groups related to the PPCA, which triggered the probe.

“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is continuing its investigation into the activities of the office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC). Documents produced to the Committee reveal that the State Department sought and received feedback from leftist environmental groups on the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) and enabled those groups to influence U.S. foreign policy,” he wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“These documents raise significant concerns that confidential information related to U.S. foreign policy, energy policy, and national security policy, have been shared with these groups, including in off-the-record meetings with Envoy John Kerry,” he continued. “In light of these concerns, we request the State Department provide a staff-level briefing and additional documents and communications regarding the U.S. decision to join the PPCA.”

Comer asked that Blinken provide the committee with any communications between Kerry, the State Department, and other relevant parties related to the decision to join the PPCA. He then set the deadline for submission to Jan. 19.
