A Democratic senator is searching for more information after President Trump's appointee to run the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy claimed that he was the victim of hacks.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told CNN on Wednesday that he sent letters to the Department of Energy (DOE) and the FBI requesting more information on William Bradford's claim that he was the victim of "cyber attacks" after a CNN report linked him to derogatory comments made on Disqus about former President Barack Obama.
Wyden asked the agencies on Wednesday to "please confirm to my office in writing whether you or any other individual in the General Counsel's office has been made aware of any cyberattacks against Mr. Bradford, and if so, what steps your office has taken to ensure that these activities have not compromised his ability to perform the duties demanded by his office."
Comments made from an account that appears to be Bradford's referred to the former president as "the son of a fourth-rate porn actress and w--re." Other comments referenced the birther controversy, stating that Obama's birth certificate was "obviously fake."

and say that Bradford's claims of "being hacked" aren't true, and that HE wrote those racist, sexist things himself to curry favor with Trump. Maybe it wasn't to curry favor with Trump, he may actually believes those ridiculous claims.
Gee, another racist, sexist Republican who won't take responsibility for his actions! 
Color me not surprised!
