California Legislature enlists former U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder to defend against Trump
As the Los Angeles Times reports, the California Legislature has tapped former U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder Jr. to serve as outside counsel to guide the state’s legal strategy against Trump’s administration. “He will be our lead litigator, and he will have a legal team of expert lawyers on the issues of climate change, women and civil rights, the environment, immigration, voting rights — to name just a few,” Senate leader Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) said. The leadership of the California Legislature has expressed opposition to President-elect Trump’s campaign positions on immigration.
