Senator Cramer Statement on Greenpeace DAPL Trial Ruling

BISMARCK, N.D. — U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) released the following statement after a jury in Mandan found Greenpeace liable for defamation for its involvement in the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests in Morton County in 2016-17. The case was brought by Energy Transfer, the DAPL parent company.

“This is what justice looks like in America. This is what happens when common sense prevails. I’m grateful to Energy Transfer for initiating the lawsuit, and for not just walking away, which it certainly could have done. 

“Thank you on behalf of American energy security, on behalf of the company and its shareholders. And most importantly, on behalf of the people of North Dakota, especially the folks of western North Dakota, who live every single day with the knowledge that they’re providing a lot of energy for a growing economy in a great country. It has everything to do with their local pride.
