The Republican Attorneys General Association (Raga ) has raked in millions of dollars from oil and gas interests and dark money groups.

Raga has received $ 18.8 m from the Leo -linked Concord Fund since 2014 .

The Concord Fund , formerly called the Judicial Crisis Network , is led by Leo ’s longtime close associate Carrie Severino .

Critics say Raga is a 'pay to play' operation for often supporting lawsuits by major donors.

20 Republican attorneys general filed a petition asking the supreme court to intervene in a major lawsuit brought by Honolulu against Sunoco and slated to go to trial later this year that seeks billions of dollars in damages from major oil companies for misleading the public about climate crisis-related disasters.

The EPA rule, which had just been approved in April , requires existing coal-fired plants to cut their emissions by 90% by 2032 .
