Washington, D.C. - The Biden Administration announced today they are suing West Virginia coal companies with ties to Governor Jim Justice. The lawsuit, brought by the Department of Justice, arrives just over a month after Governor Justice announced his candidacy for Senate.

“It’s not enough that Joe Biden declared a war on coal, but he now he’s also weaponized his administration to go after political opponents all in the name of the green agenda,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Make no mistake, if Governor Justice owned a wind farm that killed thousands of bald eagles, Joe Biden would gladly look the other way. Joe Biden continues to use West Virginia as a political football in his fight against fossil fuels and hurting the hard-working people of The Mountain State.”
