WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate energy panel said on Monday the nomination hearing for President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of the interior will take place on Thursday instead of Tuesday, blaming a “bureaucratic delay” with a U.S. ethics office.
Burgum is also being considered to head a new national energy council to coordinate policies to boost U.S. energy production.
