Stop corruption in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Whistleblower Aid’s courageous client, Robert Ivy, has evidence of serious crimes implicating William Bryan, current nominee for Undersecretary of Science and Technology at the Department of Homeland Security. Tell the Senate not to confirm Bryan.

While Bryan and Ivy worked at the Department of Energy, Bryan led a multinational team tasked with creating heating and electricity plans for two consecutive Ukrainian winters. But Bryan aligned his team with Ukrainian coal and steel oligarch and billionaire Rinat Akhmetov, subverting US policy and national security.

You might have heard of Akhmetov—Paul Manafort plead guilty to criminal charges for taking money from the political party Akhmetov funded. Akhmetov has now corrupted another American, this time inside the U.S. civil service.

After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, Bryan capitalized on crisis. He used government resources to further enrich corrupt Ukrainians like Akhmetov. And he used official connections to get work for his private firm, ValueBridge Energy Group.

Bryan also committed perjury. Whistleblower Aid’s client can show that in August, Bryan lied to Senators about his dealings in Ukraine. Officials like William Bryan are a threat to the rule of law and American democracy.

The Senate is considering Bryan's nomination right now. Sign and share this petition to tell the Senate to reject Bryan’s nomination.
