April 7 (Reuters) – House Democrats questioned the legality of the Trump administration’s deal to return nearly $1 billion to TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA), opens new tab to stop the development of two U.S. offshore wind farms, according to letters sent to administration officials and the French energy company.
U.S. Representatives Jared Huffman and Jamie Raskin, both Democrats, sent a letter on Monday to Interior Department and Department of Justice leadership alleging the agreement with TotalEnergies was against the law.
