Exxon Mobil has faced many lawsuits claiming it tried to boost public sentiment, profit, and its stock price by downplaying how its fossil fuel products affected climate change.
The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said Exxon could not sue Massachusetts’ Attorney General Maura Healey in federal court because it was pursuing the same case in Massachusetts state courts.
Exxon argued that its federal lawsuit should continue because Healey’s “viewpoint bias” violated its constitutional free speech rights under the First Amendment, while James kept defending her office’s conduct and could choose to sue again. Chloe Gotsis, a spokeswoman for Healey, said her office looked forward to “finally obtaining documents” from Exxon and moving their case forward.
Exxon has in the last several years faced many lawsuits claiming it tried to boost public sentiment, profit, and its stock price by downplaying how its fossil fuel products affected climate change and how climate regulation affected its business.
