The US state department’s handing of a request to build Keystone XL, a 1,600-mile (2,700km) oil pipeline, will be reviewed for wrongdoing.
Reports have surfaced that a company involved in the environmental review had listed developer TransCanada as a “major client”.
The review decision comes a day after demonstrators protested against the pipeline plans outside the White House.
A review could potentially delay a final decision on the pipeline.
The state department is handling public consultations on the project as the pipeline would cross the US border with Canada, but the White House has made it clear that President Barack Obama will influence the final outcome.
