Previously, Barrasso questioned Granholm about the department’s security clearance practices.
He wrote: ‘The Department’s inability to respond to my concerns regarding the DOE’s clearance process is indicative of an egregious inattention to potential insider threats within the Department and the greater safety of the American public.’
The senator went on: ‘Accordingly, I am requesting that you immediately launch a comprehensive review of the Department’s security clearance adjudication process and report to me the findings no later than February 1, 2023.’

Speaking about the incident during an interview with Jesse Watters on Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis and the focus on Brinton’s gender identity rather than their crime.
Davis said: ‘[You can] live in society as long as you don’t essentialize your race or your gender or your sexual persuasion, but when you make that essential to you are, then you have to play by the rules and if you have a downside, people are going to say, «Well, that’s part of your essential character.»‘
He continued: ‘So that’s his problem, that he started out releasing pictures of himself in drag, talking about being a transgender person. And that became his essence.If that’s his essence, and then he commits theft, and then he lies about it to the police, and those are felonies, then he’s going to be identified as a transgender person.’
The fellow went on to accuse ‘the left’ of making a person’s race, gender and sexual identity ‘essential.’
He said: ‘They essentialize it.Then they take the downside along with the publicity upside. I don’t think they want the upside, but they’re not willing to say, ‘Well, don’t characterize me as transgender,’ and I think that’s the problem.’
