U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch–a North Carolina native—has considered taking legal action against so-called ‘climate change deniers,’ she told the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week.

Lynch was responding to questions posed by Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse:

In response, Lynch replied: ‘Senator, thank you for raising that issue, and thank you for your work in this area. I know your commitment is deep.

‘This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on. I’m not aware of a civil referral at this time.”

Needless to say this has not been widely reported by the liberal mainstream media.
