"DOE: Records Raise More Questions About Rick Perry, Ukraine Ties"

"Documents released yesterday as part of a legal settlement show deep contacts between former Energy Secretary Rick Perry's department and Perry's longtime ally Michael Bleyzer as he sought to obtain natural gas contracts in Ukraine.

Beyond his alleged role in helping President Trump pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rivals, Democrats have raised questions about Perry's interaction with Ukrainian officials and whether he was involved in helping Bleyzer, a Ukrainian-born energy investor from Houston, and another associate land a potentially lucrative oil and gas exploration deal from the government in Kyiv.

Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas giant, Naftogaz, in December went to court, alleging that it unfairly lost oil and gas exploration rights to an American company co-owned by Bleyzer."
