West Virginia Governor Liable for $700 Million In Loans

“West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) is personally on the hook for nearly $700 million in loans his coal companies took out from now-defunct Greensill Capital,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Justice’s personal guarantee of the loans, which hasn’t been reported, puts financial pressure on the popular Republican governor. He is also dealing with unrelated lawsuits alleging parts of his sprawling network of coal companies breached payment contracts or failed to deliver coal.”
