(New York, NY) — It looks like former Texas Governor Rick Perry will lead the U.S. Energy Department as a member of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet.
That’s according to NBC News, sourcing two members of the Trump transition team.
Perry serves on the board of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline.
He’s famously remembered for his goof in a 2011 presidential debate, when he couldn’t name the Energy Department as one of three government agencies he wanted to eliminate if he became president.
