Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced the investigation on Tuesday, saying he had asked Exxon to preserve all documents and information related to the spill and ongoing cleanup efforts. He said in a statement that the request was the "first step in determining what happened and preserving evidence for any future litigation." As of Monday, Exxon was developing an excavation and removal plan to dig down to remove and replace the ruptured portion of its Pegasus pipeline, which transports heavy Canadian crude oil from Illinois to Texas. The line remained shut. (Reporting By Kristen Hays; Editing by Gerald E.
