GOP Launches Investigation into DiCaprio's Funding of Blue State Lawsuits against Big Oil
Two top Republican lawmakers, Senator Ted Cruz and Representative James Comer, are launching a probe into Sher Edling, a California-based law firm, over its climate litigation against oil companies. The lawmakers expressed concern about the firm's activities and its relationship with a top Biden administration official. Sher Edling has pursued aggressive climate-related lawsuits on behalf of several states and local governments, alleging that major oil companies have deceived the public about climate change. The firm has received millions of dollars in funding from left-wing dark money sources, including the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. The Republicans are demanding more information about the firm's funding and its connection to the Biden administration official.
