(590 posts)Icahn resigned in August as a Trump advisor as questions were raised about conflicts of interest. I'm guessing this is related to that.

(24,461 posts)Corporate raider pigs like him are in the Schtroumpf Blight House to cash in on deregulation for more personal business profits. For example, CVR Energy would benefit greatly if they followed his suggested deregulation changes to the Ethanol Rule. Their stock already went up half a billion in value after Trump got elected.

(19,640 posts)Federal investigators have issued subpoenas for information on Carl Icahns efforts to change biofuel policy while serving as an adviser to President Donald Trump, according to regulatory filings.
The U.S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of New York is seeking production of information pertaining to Icahns activities regarding the Renewable Fuel Standard, according to a Form 10-Q that Icahn Enterprises LP filed on Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The investigators also want information on Icahns role as an adviser to the president, the document says.
We are cooperating with the request and are providing information in response to the subpoena, Icahn Enterprises said in the filing. The U.S. Attorneys office has not made any claims or allegations against us or Mr. Icahn.
Representatives of White House and Icahn did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Wyn Hornbuckle, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, declined to comment.
CVR Energy shares sank as much as 2.9 percent to $30.50 Wednesday, the steepest intraday decline since Oct. 23.
When Trump named Icahn as an unpaid special adviser on Dec. 21, he tasked the billionaire with helping to shape his regulatory agenda. By August, Icahn had left the role, after drawing criticism from senators and watchdog groups for pushing a change to the renewable fuel program that would benefit CVR Energy Inc., an independent oil refiner in which he owns a majority share.
