‘You Lied’: Josh Hawley Confronts Biden Agency Chief Over Alleged Involvement With Lethal ‘Terrorism’

Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley on Thursday confronted Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director Tracy Stone-Manning over allegedly lying about her reported involvement with potentially deadly eco-terrorism.

Stone-Manning was an editor for an issue of Earth First journal that contained a non-bylined story boasting that federal investigators were “bungling” their investigation into an eco-terrorism incident with which she was directly involved, the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundationreported in 2021 when President Joe Biden nominated her to the position she now holds. Hawley during an oversight hearing on BLM accused Stone-Manning of lying to the Senate ⚡Energy Committee about facing an investigation regarding the incident, which he called “terrorism” that can lead to death.

“I understand why this committee jumped over 30 years of my career in considering my nomination and went to a salacious moment from graduate school where I tried to protect people,” Stone-Manning said. “What I don’t understand is why we’re not looking at the last three and a half years now.”

“Here’s why,” Hawley responded. “Because people are killed in these kind of incidents. It is an act of terrorism. A special agent in charge found that you were involved. You lied to this committee and said you were never investigated, were never the target of an investigation. In fact, you were. You lied to us blatantly. And you know it.”
