Greenpeace asks court to investigate oil pipeline supporter's mailer amid ongoing legal battle.

Environmental group Greenpeace seeks court permission to investigate a pro-fossil fuel mailer it believes could bias the jury in its legal battle with Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) developer Energy Transfer. The mailer, titled "Central ND News," highlights positive coverage of Energy Transfer while criticizing anti-DAPL protesters. Greenpeace supports the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's opposition to the pipeline. Energy Transfer has filed a lawsuit against Greenpeace, accusing it of criminal behavior and defamation during the protests. The case is set for trial in February.
