West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey is demanding a decade of records from environmental groups, including internal communications and statements about climate change. Two targeted organisations, the West Virginia Rivers Coalition and 350.org, have responded by filing a lawsuit against the demand. Critics view the investigation as politically motivated pressure on climate advocacy groups.

Why now: The attorney general's sweeping records demand and the environmental groups' resulting lawsuit have raised fresh concerns about political pressure on climate advocacy.
