    The Department of Justice has announced that it lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the District Court of the Southern District of New York, involving a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corporation and others. The case is about violations of emission-defect reporting regulations under the Clean Air Act. Under the proposed agreement, Toyota will pay $180 million and agree to injunctive relief. The public can comment on this agreement within 30 days of the notice publication by contacting the Assistant Attorney General and referring to the case details provided.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is asking Toyota to pay $180 million because they didn't follow some air pollution rules, and people can tell the government what they think about this decision. Toyota also has to do certain things to fix the problem, but the document doesn't say exactly how they'll do that or how it will be checked.

    President issued Executive Order 14136, outlining a new order of succession for the Department of Justice. According to the order, if the Attorney General and their top deputies can't perform their duties, the U.S. Attorneys from New York's Southern District, Arizona, Illinois's Northern District, and Hawaii will step in, in that order. The order also specifies that acting officials can't serve as Attorney General unless eligible under the law, and the President has the discretion to change this order. This order replaces a similar executive order from 2017.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a new plan for who takes charge in the Department of Justice if the main leaders can't do their job. It starts with some special lawyers from New York, Arizona, Illinois, and Hawaii, but only if they are allowed by law.
