"Obviously the incoming Republican House majority that will control the documents as of January 3 has no interest in continuing to investigate Big Oil.
"Committee members cannot allow their groundbreaking work to expose Big Oil's role in fueling the climate crisis to end by giving control of thousands of unexamined documents to Big Oil's defenders," Wiles added.
