In June the U.S. Supreme Court issued a request to the Trump Administration asking the Solicitor General to file a brief in the PennEast Pipeline vs. New Jersey case expressing the Trump Admin’s views on the case and its merits (see US Supreme Court Signals It Wants to Hear PennEast Pipeline Case). It took a while, but on Wednesday the Solicitor General filed the brief. In the brief, the Trump administration unreservedly supports PennEast’s contention that NJ went too far in blocking the project from state-owned and controlled land.
