ProPublica estimates his personal assets at between $222 million and $834 million.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5366\">Trump\u2019s Secret MAGA Loyalty Test to Allies Is Leaked<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The undersecretary\u2019s alleged repeated calls to the agency he oversees come after he revealed during his confirmation hearing last year that his past interactions with the Forest Service had been \u201coppressive.\u201d Boren has clashed with the agency several times but said it \u201calways comes around to a settlement that works for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture Department spokesman Michael Abboud defended Boren\u2019s actions in a statement to The Post, saying he is \u201cexpected to have regular contact with the agencies he oversees,\u201d but staffers told the outlet that it is highly unusual for an undersecretary to try to influence firefighting operations, given that they do not have all the information or expertise needed to make such decisions.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the fire near Boren\u2019s ranch, where he had built a $1.1 million airstrip on protected land without permission, the nation\u2019s preparedness level was four out of five, indicating a high risk of wildfires, with 44 large, uncontained fires burning across the country. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a finite number of resources.
