An attorney for a Texas pipeline company said Wednesday at trial that he will prove various Greenpeace entities coordinated delays and disruptions of a controversial oil pipeline's construction in North Dakota,

In a separate lawsuit over the pipeline, the state of North Dakota seeks $38 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Army Crops has jurisdiction over the portion of the pipeline that passes underneath Lake Oahe, and owns the land that became site of the largest protest camp during the demonstrations.
