Jury selection began Monday in Dakota Access Pipeline's $300 million lawsuit against Greenpeace USA. A federal lawsuit by the company was dismissed but there is a similar one filed in North Dakota state court in 2019.

The $300 million lawsuit deals with protests against a pipeline route at a Missouri River crossing north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

Energy Transfer says Greenpeace used tactics including defamation, vandalism and harassment in an attempt to tarnish the company’s reputation and sink the Dakota Access Pipeline project.
