California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) is gearing up to file a wave of lawsuits if former President Donald Trump secures victory in the 2024 election.
Bonta intends to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, Xavier Becerra, who, upon returning from Congress, reactivated a dormant law license to file lawsuits against the Trump administration in liberal federal jurisdictions to tie down his presidency.
As reported by The Los Angeles Times:
California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said he and his staff have been reviewing former President Trump’s second-term agenda in detail to prepare a potential onslaught of environmental, immigration and civil rights lawsuits in the event Trump defeats President Biden.
…
Bonta, a Democrat who is mulling a run for governor, said he has been reviewing the work of his predecessor, Xavier Becerra, who filed more than 100 suits against Trump policies before leaving the office to become Biden’s secretary of Health and Human Services. Bonta and his deputies are also looking closely at a document drafted by the Heritage Foundation, a Trump-aligned think tank, known as “Project 2025,” that offers a blueprint for Trump’s second-term policy goals.
…
Asked for comment on Bonta’s plans, Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee, said, “California liberals will try anything to spread their failed, fringe-left agenda far and wide, but they won’t stop President Trump from making America great again.”
Bonta’s office failed to respond this week to a query about what the California Attorney General was doing to uphold the civil rights of Jews on campus after antisemitic “encampments” spread across the state.
