The former oil industry attorney will continue for now calling the shots at a government agency that oversees nearly a quarter-billion public acres in the U.S. West. That's despite the White House saying over the weekend that President Trump would withdraw the nomination of Pendley. (AP Photo/Matthew Brown, File)
