California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that over the past six months, his office has spent more than $5 million fighting the Trump administration in court, saving the state nearly $170 billion. This financial return amounts to $33,600 saved for every dollar spent on legal efforts. Bonta's office has launched 37 lawsuits and filed 47 amicus briefs since Trump took office. Notably, a successful lawsuit halted a Trump initiative that threatened $168 billion in federal funding to California. Bonta emphasized the rapid legal response to protect the state budget and infrastructure funding.
Bonta said his office has spent more than $5 million fighting the Trump administration in court over the last six months, but saved the state nearly $170 billion.
Bonta's calculations are based on a mountain of litigation his office has filed against the administration since President Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, including 37 lawsuits.
Just to put it in perspective, if you told a Wall Street investor they'd get a $33,000 return on every one dollar invested, they would trip over themselves to get in on that deal.
In his first week in office, President Trump went after a full-third of California's budget - and we went to court less than 24 hours later and stopped him in his tracks.
