House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., gave John Kerry some bad news when he informed Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate that he opened a probe into Kerry’s negotiations with his Chinese counterparts.
Comer sent Kerry a letter telling him the Oversight Committee has opened an investigation into Kerry’s role in the Biden administration and specifically with Kerry’s negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Comer took this step because Kerry has ignored information and document requests from Republicans. Comer said to Kerry: “To date, you have failed to respond to any of our requests.
“Yet, you continue to engage in activities that could undermine our economic health, skirt congressional authority, and threaten foreign policy under the guise of climate advocacy.

“The Committee requests documents and information to understand your role and provide necessary transparency over the SPEC and its activities.
“As a member of the President’s cabinet, you should be representing the United States’ interests.
“Your statements, however, consistently show disregard for American national security and taxpayer dollars.
“We are left with an insufficient understanding of your office’s activities, spending, and staffing.
“Your office continues to ignore requests for information.
“To enable long overdue oversight of your office, please provide the following documents and information,” the letter said.
According to The Hill:
Comer’s letter requests internal communications on the budget for Kerry’s position since he assumed the role in 2021, as well as from people present for those discussions, those employed by his office and documents pertaining to Kerry’s travel in the role.
In his role as climate envoy, Kerry has emphasized the need for cooperation from China, the world’s top emitter, to make a meaningful dent in emissions.
In 2021, he said Beijing was “not doing enough.”
