In anticipation of legal challenges from the incoming Trump administration, Governor Gavin Newsom is requesting $25 million for a litigation fund to protect Californians from federal actions.
During Trump's first term, California's legal battles against the federal government cost the state around $42 million, highlighting the ongoing tensions between state and federal priorities.
Attorney General Rob Bonta expressed support for the proposed litigation fund, noting it would need to be used prudently as its effectiveness depends on the actions of the Trump administration.
Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher criticized the special session as being disconnected from the needs of Trump supporters, accusing Newsom of political posturing in anticipation of a presidential run.
