R.J. Reynolds spotlights illicit cigarette manufacturing in court hearing
WASHINGTON — A melodramatic and high-stakes case illuminating a complaint by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. about Native American tribes’ alleged “rogue cigarette” manufacturing challenged a federal judge Tuesday.Wading into a civil lawsuit built on covert investigations, aerial surveillance and confidential informants, U.S. District Judge Ketanji B. Jackson tried to clear the air during a 90-minute hearing. She pressed, almost equally, attorneys for both R.J. Reynolds and the Justice Department.
