And while many of the largest energy companies are following this step, none of them have so far chosen to limit the donation freeze to the politicians who have supported the violent groups. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre and Kelsey Tamborrino explain the companies’ middling reaction, and whether it will hold until the next political cycle.
