New York, Mass. AGs Reject Subpoena Request
The attorneys general of New York and Massachusetts said they will refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena for records on their investigations into ExxonMobil. A letter from New York AG Eric Schneiderman’s council called the July 13 subpoena from
Lamar Smith , Chairman of the House Science Committee, “an unprecedented effort” to target the ongoing investigations.
Massachusetts AG Maura Healey’s council issued a similar letter, calling the subpoena an
“unconstitutional and unwarranted interference.” Smith, who had set a deadline of today for all subpoenaed parties to respond, said he was “disappointed that Schneiderman and Healey refused to comply.”
