During a recent Senate hearing, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, questioned Doug Burgum, the nominee for the Department of the Interior under President-elect Trump's administration, about potential drilling activities in national monuments.
Sen. Hirono specifically inquired about the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah and whether Burgum would support drilling in that area. In response, Burgum emphasized his commitment to upholding the law and the Constitution, stating that any decisions regarding energy production would be made in the best interest of the American people.
