New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) is investigating ExxonMobil over allegations the company lied to the public about the risks of climate change and to investors about how such risks might hurt the oil business. The state's 1921 Martin Act gives New York's attorney general (AG) sweeping power to subpoena any document from anyone doing business in the state. The law grants the authority to New York's AG to keep investigations secret and to file civil or criminal charges, and people called in for questioning during Martin Act investigations do not have the right to legal counsel or a right against self-incrimination according to LegalAffairs and other legal sources.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_schneiderman.jpg
