Demonstrators rally outside the White House to protest British Petroleum and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., on April 18, 2011.
Whitehouse and Raskin announced the referral at a press conference yesterday, where Whitehouse called on the Justice Department to “commence a proper inquiry into whether charges should be brought and what charges should be brought” against Big Oil and made the comparison to civil racketeering charges the department brought against the tobacco industry.
“If there’s no accountability, and there’s no truth, then there’s no progress,” Raskin said today. “The deception and the deceit must end for us to seriously confront the magnitude of the climate crisis that we are in.”
