01:50 PM EDT, 04/23/2024 (MT Newswires) -- California will wrap up its two-year investigation into Exxon Mobil's ( XOM ) role in plastic pollution by summer and decide then whether to file a lawsuit against the oil giant, Reuters reported Monday, citing state Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The state subpoenaed Exxon for documents after launching its investigation into the oil and petrochemical industry's role in worsening plastic pollution in 2022.

Exxon previously rejected the state's allegations.

Exxon and the Office of California's Attorney General did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
