Tennessee drops Wells Fargo investigation


Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti (R) last week closed his investigation into whether Wells Fargo coordinated with other financial institutions to promote net-zero climate policies in violation of antitrust laws.

The investigation was part of a broader effort by Republican attorneys general to challenge coordination among financial institutions on climate policy. Skrmetti closed the case after the bank announced plans to move away from net-zero commitments.
