Rep Becca Balint of Vermont strongly criticised former Trump administration official Mandy Gunasekara in a congressional hearing on Tuesday for asserting that sustainable investment strategies by companies promote gender transitions for children.
Ms Gunaskara, who worked at the Environmental Protection Agency when Donald Trump was president, was testifying at a House Oversight Committee meeting on the topic of ESG — a corporate governance framework called environmental, social, governance that considers social and environmental factors that has rankled conservatives.
