AG Healey’s climate change showdown with ExxonMobil enters Massachusetts courtroom

BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey's feud with energy giant ExxonMobil continued inside Suffolk County Superior Court on Wednesday, as attorneys representing the corporation urged Judge Heidi Brieger to at least temporarily halt Healey's call for a climate change-related investigation until a federal judge in Texas rules on whether Healey's attack is unconstitutional and politically motivated.
"Exxon has been selling products in Massachusetts for a long time knowing full-well there was a serious impact of those products on climate change and didn't tell consumers," charged Richard Johnston, Healey's chief legal counsel.
