Josh Hawley grills Biden's BLM director for an alleged eco-terrorism cover-up [VIDEO]

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley confronted Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Tracy Stone-Manning over allegations of dishonesty over her alleged ties to ecoterrorism during an oversight hearing.

Stone-Manning, a candidate for Biden, was challenged by Hawley for allegedly lying about her involvement in an eco-terrorism incident during her graduate days. Stone-Manning denied facing an investigation despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

Hawley accused Stone-Manning of misleading the Senate Energy Committee by downplaying the seriousness of ecoterrorism and emphasized that such acts put lives at risk. Stone-Manning's past connection to an issue of Earth First magazine celebrating the deactivation of a probe in a tree-spiking incident raised further concerns.

Stone-Manning had previously been granted legal immunity in 1993 to testify about his role in a 1989 tree-spiking incident, which he initially denied being part of.

During the hearing, Stone-Manning also faced scrutiny over the BLM's handling of restrictions on energy and mining projects in Alaska, drawing criticism from Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Native American groups.
