The DOJ is suing 13 coal companies owned and operated by the son of West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, who is looking to challenge Sen. Joe Manchin in 2024.

Former Connecticut senator Joseph Lieberman reacts to the debt ceiling standoff and says 'it's time' for President Biden to negotiate with House Speaker McCarthy on 'Your World.'

The campaign for Gov. Justice, who is running against U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney for the Republican nomination, asserting DOJ"has decided to play politics." "Over a five-year period, defendants engaged in over 130 violations of federal law, thereby posing health and safety risks to the public and the environment," U.S. Attorney Christopher R. Kavanaugh for the Western District of Virginia said in a statement Wednesday."After given notice, they then failed to remedy those violations and were ordered over 50 times to cease mining activities until their violations were abated.

"Our environmental laws serve to protect communities against adverse effects of industrial activities including surface coal mining operations," Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim of theEnvironment and Natural Resources Division said in a statement."Through this suit, the Justice Department seeks to deliver accountability for defendants’ repeated violations of the law and to recover the penalties they owe as a result of those violations.
