"Donald Trump asked for help is US Representative Kevin Cramer (R) of North Dakota, one of the country's most ardent oil and gas drilling advocates and climate change skeptics."

"Washington/New York — Donald Trump on Friday picked a prominent climate change skeptic to help him craft his energy policy and pushed back against renewed calls that he release his income tax returns - saying his tax rate is "none of your business."

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is seeking to build out his policy proposals as he pivots from campaigning for his party's nomination to a likely general election matchup with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Among those he has asked for help is US Representative Kevin Cramer (R) of North Dakota, one of the country's most ardent oil and gas drilling advocates and climate change skeptics. North Dakota has been at the forefront of the U.S. shale oil and gas boom."
