Attorneys general cite high rate of return on anti-Trump suits
California and Colorado lead a 23-state Democratic coalition suing the Trump administration, recovering billions in federal funds with an 80% lawsuit win rate, officials said.
- On Tuesday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced another lawsuit this year and said his office received additional money for the Trump administration litigation and continues to manage the work.
- Co-Leaders Bonta and Weiser argue the Trump administration broke laws, with the coalition of Democratic attorneys general defending civil rights and workers.
- Bonta noted how the office funded the work with legislative money set aside last fall and managed it with few staff; settlements include $4.5 million in restitution for drivers and $33,000 returned per dollar spent.
- Bonta and Weiser say the litigation has yielded results, with Weiser saying Colorado secured substantial federal funds and regained access after illegal restrictions, while White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson criticized the volume of suits Tuesday.
- Bonta said his office also pursues housing, gun safety and climate work while suing to unfreeze electric vehicle charging funding, as reporters pressed the AGs during a reporter Q&A with The Center Square.
