Tracy Stone-Manning Tree Spiking and Eco-Terrorism Allegations

Senate confirmation hearings for Tracy Stone-Manning, nominee for the Bureau of Land Management, focused on her involvement in a 1989 tree-spiking incident in Idaho.

Stone-Manning admitted to typing and mailing a letter for the group responsible, leading to accusations of eco-terrorism and perjury.
