Exxon moves to block climate probes in New York, Massachusetts

[SecularMotion]

ExxonMobil Corp. is asking a federal court to stop the attorneys general of New York and Massachusetts from carrying out climate change-related investigations of the company.

The nation’s largest oil and natural gas company filed a motion on Monday challenging a subpoena issued last year by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) that Exxon said shows impermissible bias against the company.

The motion in a Texas federal court seeks to add Schneiderman to an existing lawsuit in that court in which Exxon is trying to block Democratic Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey’s demand for certain documents.

Exxon told the court that Schneiderman and Healey are part of a “conspiracy” against the company, fueled by “improper bias and unconstitutional objectives.”
