An award-winning radio host in Southern Virginia has filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives for denying him access to public records involving hearings on climate change.
According to the Richmond Times Dispatch, Rob Schilling, host of “The Schilling Show” at NewsRadio WINA alleges the Democrat-run committee violated the law in order to go after oil companies.
The lawsuit titled “House Oversight and Reform Committee’s investigation alleging “disinformation” from oil companies misled the public about the dangers of climate change.”
“The public – including Mr. Schilling, in his role as an active citizen and journalist — has a great interest in seeing the record behind this weak rationalization to pursue political opponents and failure to even nominally ground a ‘year-long’ investigation into private parties in a ‘valid legislative purpose,’” the lawsuit reads.
The lawsuit seeks all emails and any Skype and other recordings regarding the House Oversight and Reform Committee and donor-provided consultants.
A spokesperson told the Daily Signal, “the Oversight and Reform Committee has followed all rules in its investigation.”
