Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall joined 19 other states in defending President Trump’s administration against politically-motivated lawsuits attempting to stop his team from protecting taxpayer dollars.
When the American people elected President Trump in a decisive victory, they also voted for his America First agenda. President Trump got straight to work by directing his Department of Government Efficiency employees to investigate and cut billions of dollars in federal waste, fraud, and abuse. Even the Biden Administration estimated that the federal government loses as much as $521 billion to fraud each year. Even still, President Trump’s political opponents are now suing to block his team from accessing the government data needed to identify and eliminate this massive fraud.
“The American people have been loud and clear: they want President Trump to cut waste, eliminate fraud, and protect their tax dollars,” Attorney General Marshall said. “Yet, the radical left is using the courts to shield corruption and obstruct the President’s efforts. These baseless lawsuits are nothing more than a last-ditch effort to preserve a broken system. I stand firmly with DOGE and will continue fighting to ensure this administration can expose and eliminate the fraud that has plagued our federal government for far too long.”
The States make the case that Article II of the Constitution grants President Trump the authority to direct executive branch agencies. The States urge the court to let President Trump’s administration continue doing its job to eliminate federal fraud and waste.
Alabama joined the Iowa-led brief, along with Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah.
