EXCLUSIVE: The head of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) has called on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to launch an investigation into whether Russia secretly funded U.S. green groups that advocate against domestic
oil and gas production.

Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., led a letter to Yellen Friday that cites a 2015 Washington Free Beacon report that suggested the California-based Sea
Change Foundation may allegedly be a conduit for Russian oil interests in funneling money to groups like the League of Conservation Voters (LCV),
the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Sierra Club and the
Center for American Progress.

"Russia spent millions promoting anti-energy policies and politicians in
the U.S.," Banks said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Now, thanks to Biden’s war on domestic energy, U.S. oil production has dropped 10%,
pushing up prices and enriching and emboldening Putin before he invaded Ukraine."

Banks continued: "Unlike the Russia hoax, Putin’s malign influence on our energy sector is real and deserves further investigation."

RSC Letter to Treasury on R... by Fox News

The Treasury Department did not immediately reply to email requests for comment on whether it would investigate.

Banks' letter coincides with a similar effort from House Energy and
Commerce Committee Republicans who are calling on certain environmental groups to disclose their ties to a non-governmental organization which is, according to the committee, reportedly used by Russian President Vladimir Putin to make an impact on American energy production.

Three environmental groups – the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and the Sierra Club – reportedly have ties to the San Francisco-based NGO environmental organization called the Sea Change Foundation, according to Republicans on the committee.

In a letter sent to each of the three groups, Republicans inquired about
the funding the groups have received from Sea Change since 2006 and called for disclosure of whether the groups "are aware of concerns that Sea
Change may be a conduit for Russian funding."
