HOUSTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. employee political
action committee at oil giant BP is suspending political
contributions for six months and will re-evaluate its support
criteria, the company said on Monday.
The PAC's decision comes as several U.S. corporations said
they would temporarily halt donations to political candidates
and parties after supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump
attacked the Capitol last week seeking to prevent Congress from
formalizing President-elect Joe Biden's victory.
