On Thursday, at the civil damages trial over the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, we heard lengthy testimony from two of the key figures involved in the development and construction of the pipeline.

MANDAN, N.D. ( North Dakota Monitor) – Greenpeace has asked the North Dakota Supreme Court to move its Dakota Access Pipeline defamation case out of Morton County, arguing the jury is incapable of rendering a fair verdict.

A behemoth defamation lawsuit brought by the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline against Greenpeace began its trial in a Mandan courtroom on Monday. Energy Transfer, a Texas-based oil and gas company, accuses Greenpeace of using underhanded means to back demonstrations against the pipeline in 2016 and 2017.
