A recording obtained by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting shows a bunch of oil executives celebrating — and making jokes — about their “unprecedented access” to the Trump administration.
The recording comes from an event that was held in June 2017 at Southern California’s Ritz Carlton hotel, where oil developers — members of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) — had gathered to celebrate the meteoric rise of their longtime lawyer, David Bernhardt, who had at the time been given the powerful No. 2 position at the Department of the Interior.
