California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) told reporters Tuesday that courts have blocked Trump officials\u2019 actions \u2014 at least temporarily \u2014 in 83 percent of his office\u2019s cases against the administration (excluding cases in which judges have yet to act).<\/p>\n

Many cases are still working their way through the courts, making the final outcomes uncertain.<\/p>\n

Bonta called the administration \u201chistoric in its unlawfulness, in its willingness to trample over our Constitution.\u201d He said he has sued the second Trump administration 82 times, averaging more than once a week.<\/p>

Bonta <\/b>pointed to the Supreme Court\u2019s rebukes of Trump policies such as tariffs \u2014 though the majority-conservative high court has also handed President Donald Trump major victories, expanding<\/a> his power over the federal bureaucracy and upholding<\/a> key elements of his immigration agenda, for instance.<\/p>\n

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called California\u2019s lawsuits \u201cfrivolous\u201d in a statement and said the attorney general \u201cshould focus on addressing problems in his own state.\u201d<\/p>\n
