ExxonMobil Lobbyist Brags He Gets Access To Manchin. Environmental Groups Say They Do Not

ExxonMobil says it has regular access to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and his staff, according to leaked comments by a senior lobbyist for the oil giant.

The remarks came from Keith McCoy, ExxonMobil’s senior director of federal relations in Washington. 

“Joe Manchin ― I talk to his office every week. He is the kingmaker, and he’s not shy about staking his claim early and completely changing the debate,” McCoy said.
