North Carolina Republicans push bill to block state AG from suing White House

A group of North Carolina Republicans filed a bill in the state legislature aiming to prevent the state’s Democratic Attorney General from suing President Donald Trump over his executive orders.

Senate Bill 58, as introduced by Republican state Sens. Eddie Settle, Tim Moffitt, and Bobby Hanig, would bar North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson, a Democrat, from participating in a lawsuit to “advance any argument that would result in the invalidation of” any “executive order issued by the President of the United States.”
