Three U.S. House Democrats are calling for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate whether Shell Oil misled the public about climate change.
According to the L.A. Times, U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu of California, Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont and Rep. Matt Cartwright of Pennsylvania sent a letter earlier this week asking the DOJ to investigate whether Shell “intentionally” hid information about climate change and engaged in a “misinformation” campaign.

U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) sent a letter on Tuesday to FBI Director James Comey, asking that the bureau withdraw its demand that Apple help unlock an iPhone owned by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. The letter pushes back against Comey's insistence that the FBI's request “isn't about trying to set a precedent” just as other law enforcement officials aim to test whether this case helps their own investigations or prosecutions.

"As a computer science major, I have seen far-reaching unintended consequences when government applies outmoded concepts to our fast-changing technological world," Lieu wrote in a Feb. 23 letter to Comey.
