Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has joined 19 other states in defending President Donald Trump’s administration against lawsuits attempting to stop his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Multiple lawsuits have been filed recently to block DOGE from accessing the government data needed to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse.
“The American people have been loud and clear: they want President Trump to cut waste, eliminate fraud, and protect their tax dollars,” 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.”
Marshall and other attorneys general make the case in a brief filed in federal court last week 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.
