Murray didn't like the way people were talking about the letter. Murray Energy wrote their own letter to the court. It said that the court shouldn't read the letter. They said this was because ACLU didn't make it clear that they made money because of Oliver's show. The letter said that Murray didn't like the the way the ACLU worded their letter. They wrote that the biased tone by itself should make the court throw away the other letter. The letter also claimed that the ACLU made money because of John Oliver's show. 5 days after the 2016 United States presidential election, Oliver's show made a segment called "President-Elect Trump". Oliver told to donate to activists they saw as left-leaning. These clauses included Planned Parenthood, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The Trevor Project, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and the International Refugee Assistance Project. Murray Energy said that this encouragement caused an "immediate surge of millions of dollars in donations to the ACLU". Because of this, said Murray Energy, the court should throw away the ACLU's letter. "Reuters" argued that Murray Energy did not prove that what they said was true. They said this because Murray provided links to three articles to prove what they said. None of the articles back up what Murray said. The articles did agree that the activists got more money. However, they said that it was because of the election, and not because of Oliver's show.
