GOP AGs’ New Target: Big US Banks’ ‘Alliance’ To UN Climate Requirements

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and 18 other attorneys general served six of the largest U.S  banks with civil investigative demands.

  • “American banks should never put political agendas ahead of the secure retirement of their clients,” Brnovich said. “These financial institutions are entrusted with protecting a different type of green.”
