BP's oil spill attorney confirmed by Senate to become nation's top environmental lawyer.

And the Beat goes on.

The Senate on Thursday narrowly confirmed Jeffrey Bossert Clark, a lawyer who defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, to be assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Environment and Natural Resources Division.

In the 52-to-45 vote, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) joined all Republicans present in voting to confirm Clark.
