‘The President Stole Your Land’Since that week in December, the feud between Patagonia and the Trump administration has continued to simmer. Mr. Bishop invited Mr. Chouinard to testify before the Committee on Natural Resources. In an email, the committee’s press secretary said Mr. Chouinard was still welcome to testify. Then in March, The Times published an article that showed oil and gas interests were central to the Trump administration’s decision to shrink Bears Ears.
