Eleven Republican attorneys general are backing former President Donald Trump, telling a federal appeals court that the Biden administration’s “questionable conduct” in other cases should inform its looming decision on records seized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) from Trump.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 10 other attorneys general wrote in an amicus brief that the Biden administration tried to impose immigration policies deemed violative of federal law, even after a district court ruled against them. An appeals court soon ordered the administration to stop, finding it had engaged in “gamesmanship in its decision-making.”
