"Hillary Clinton Endorses Federal Investigation of Exxon"

"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has joined the ranks of politicians and environmentalists calling for a federal investigation of ExxonMobil.

At a town hall event in New Hampshire on Thursday, local community organizer Jordan Cichon asked Clinton whether she would call on the Department of Justice to investigate the fossil fuel giant of engaging in a cover-up to mislead the public about the risks of human-caused climate change.

'Yes, yes, they should,' Clinton responded. 'There’s a lot of evidence that they misled.'"
