Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (NY-10) is reiterating his demand that the Trump Administration provide answers about its decision to pause leases for five large scale offshore wind projects currently under construction, including the Empire Wind 1 project in New York. The administration cited national security concerns as the rationale for the pause; in December, Rep. Goldman demanded a classified hearing detailing these concerns by the week of January 5th. As of today, neither the Department of Interior (DOI) nor the Department of Defense (DOD) has scheduled a briefing or provided access to the classified materials. While a judge today granted a preliminary injunction that allows construction on the project to continue, the threat to the project still remains. The Trump administration has made clear it will use any means necessary, including citing national security risks, to prevent offshore wind projects like Empire Wind 1 from being completed.

“Department of Homeland Security spokesperson ‘Tricia from Ohio,’ is back to doing what she does best: gaslighting the American people. Her statement that the staffer ‘had no legal right to be in the United States’ is a bald-faced lie. In truth, the NYC Council employee was lawfully in the United States and properly authorized to work here.

New York, NY - Today, U.S. Representative Dan Goldman (NY-10) released the following statement:
“The President’s unilateral and unauthorized military operation in Venezuela should scare every American, and his explanation this morning will undoubtedly scare every democratic ally around the world. Congress has the sole power to declare war, and Congress has not done so, nor have we been provided with any satisfactory explanation for the President’s invasion of another sovereign nation.
