Young Trump judge faces charges of conflict of interest and corporate favoritism by alexnazaryan
WASHINGTON — On Nov. 17, 2017, President Trump added five names to the list of potential Supreme Court nominations his administration might make. One of those names would become universally known the following summer: Brett Kavanaugh, the beer-loving jurist who managed to gain confirmation to the high court despite allegations of sexual misconduct and broader concerns about his honesty and temperament.
The allegations come in an eight-page letter Earthjustice has sent to members of the U.S. Senate. It is an updated version of the letter Earthjustice sent to members of the Judiciary Committee last summer. The letter also reprises long-standing allegations that Wyrick — a close associate of former Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt — improperly collaborated with the oil and gas industry in blocking the Obama administration’s environmental regulations.
The letter from Earthjustice argues that Wyrick should have recused himself from Pruitt v. Burwell because ties to a health care-related business presented a conflict of interest.
In another question, Whitehouse wondered why Wyrick had not disclosed the existence of B2LPT on his official application for the Oklahoma judicial vacancy.
