The state attorneys general have been a valuable line of defense against Trump’s power grabs and illegal actions. A dozen state attorneys general, led by a constant thorn in Trump’s side, New York AG Letitia James released a joint statement where they announced legal action against Trump for Elon Musk’s illegal breach of the Treasury payment system.
In the past week, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has given Elon Musk access to Americans’ personal private information, state bank account data, and other information that is some of our country’s most sensitive data.
