More than a month ago, Albemarle County Circuit Court Judge Paul Peatross set aside Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s civil investigative demands (CIDs) for information tied to $485,000 in grants awarded to former UVA climate scientist Michael Mann. Now, Cuccinelli has filed a new 30-page subpoena for details on an application Mann made for state funding to research in the African savannah. In the application, Mann included his CV, which refers to the scientist’s controversial climate research and provides the Attorney General’s basis for revisiting questions about fraud.
Recently, both the Washington Post and Chronicle of Higher Education published editorials on Cuccinelli’s latest CID. Share your own thoughts below.
