Secret Lawsuits Against Trump Planned Months Ahead | Annapolis News
Description
Democratic attorneys general secretly launched “Project for Federal Accountability” in April 2024, planning lawsuits against a potential second Trump term—even before policies were enacted. Nearly 100 lawsuits have since been filed, yet most states are withholding thousands of emails citing legal privileges like “common interest,” sparking outrage from transparency advocates and retired judges who argue that hypothetical legal strategies shouldn’t be shielded from public view. Colorado’s $61,000 fee request to access records has drawn criticism as an “insurmountable paywall,” while New York and Washington release blacked-out documents and Oregon remains silent—raising serious questions about government accountability and the limits of secrecy in political litigation.
