New climate envoy John Kerry sold off energy holdings to avoid conflict of interest, financial disclosures show.

The crew discusses the 2021 gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the mayoral elections taking place in more than two dozen major cities and special elections for vacant House seats.indicate that until March of this year he held hundreds of thousands of dollars of investments in energy-related companies that may end up being affected by policies he'll help shape as President Joe Biden's new climate envoy.

"The State Department's Ethics Office reviewed Special Presidential Envoy Kerry's assets and investments upon his appointment to identify holdings that could pose a significant risk of a conflict of interest," a State Department spokesperson wrote in a statement to ABC News."Special Presidential Envoy Kerry agreed to divest the assets identified by the Ethics Office and has done so.

"He should also be mindful of all the ethics rules that may apply to any former client he may have from his previous work," Marsco said. Kerry's disclosure report shows that he served as the chairman of the advisory board for Climate Finance Partners and as the president of the Vietnam Sustainable Energy Corporation.

Beyond his stake in the energy industry -- which accounts for only a small fraction of his total net worth -- disclosures show that Kerry has a diverse portfolio of income and holdings that make him one of the wealthiest members of Biden's administration.

Cause that is what an ethical politician does.

To accomplish the goal which is the global promise is the only way to become the global leaders.

Ah called ethics. Something trump and kiddies don’t have.

GretaThunberg It's a matter of state of mind, not state of investment.

“Climate Envoy”, lost me there .. wtf ? Lmao

Engaging in a higher consciousness will spark a break away for human evolution. You can even bring religion if you'd like.

Oh, so now he’s concerned about the climate 😂😂😂

dominique6138 That’s what you’re supposed to do, ya nimbys.

GivenGrace1986 That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do. So why are you reporting on it?

“News” In quotes

Sold off the chosenites to the head loppers too Dudes a scarecrow with no soul

Did y'all get so used to letting the last admin get away with conflicts of interest you got confused and thought this admin doing the right thing was newsworthy?

It’s not working This man is a traitor

Because that’s what ethical people do

Yeah right. Some future news will likely cause the value to drop, so he's getting out now. We've seen this before.

this is so...normal. like, this is how it is supposed to be done!

It’s like we’re living in a different country.

DID HE BUY A HYBRID CAR? SOLAR PANNELS UPON EMBACY ALONG WIND MILLS?

An honest, ethical man who got victimized by rotten Republican lies when he ran for President. I'm glad he's still around.

But he bought them, that's the point, you Leftist. Nice try though, not really.

Sold to who. His cousin?

Just like Trump divested himself from his business holdings before he was sworn in. Oh wait, he didn’t....

Good for johnkerry

As he should

He should do are the money to wildlife conservation.
