Democrat AGs Made Secret Plan to Sue Trump Long Before He Won – Here’s What We Know
Here is the document that proves everything conservatives said about Democratic lawfare was true.
Seven months before Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, at least 22 Democrat state attorneys general joined a secret coalition called the Project for Federal Accountability. The first signatures went on the agreement on April 28, 2024 — when then-President Joe Biden was still in the race. By May and June, thirteen more AGs had signed. The agreement was stamped “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement” — legal language specifically designed to shield the coordination from public view and prevent opposing counsel from accessing it.
Translation: They built a secret legal war machine to stop a president who hadn’t been elected yet — and hid it from the taxpayers funding it.
The coalition divided up legal research by topic. They built a shared “brief bank” of pre-drafted lawsuits. They pored over the Project 2025 policy document hunting for attack vectors. Trump hadn’t signed a bill. He hadn’t issued an executive order. He hadn’t taken a single official action, because he wasn’t president yet. None of that mattered. The lawsuits were already written and waiting for him to take the oath.
Since Trump’s inauguration, Democrat AGs have sued his administration close to 100 times. California’s Rob Bonta has joined 82 of those lawsuits. Colorado’s Phil Weiser has joined 75. Washington’s Nick Brown — yes, the same Nick Brown who is now threatening journalists investigating COVID daycare fraud in his state — has joined 70.
Bonta insists this is “apolitical.” He added: “If Trump doesn’t want to get sued, all he has to do is follow the law.” This from a man who signed a secret coordination agreement seven months before Trump even won, based on a policy document from a foundation, targeting actions the incoming president hadn’t yet taken. That’s not law enforcement. That’s political resistance wearing a law degree.
Even people outside the conservative media world noticed. Retired Connecticut Judge Thomas Moukawsher mocked the coalition’s chosen name: “Federal Accountability? That’s just a little strange.” Former Utah AG Mark Shurtleff — a Republican who now often votes for Democrats — called the secrecy “not normal at all.”
The cost is staggering and the people paying it have no say. California alone has burned through $19 million, with another $25 million authorized. New Jersey tucked $1 million into its state budget for two new staff positions dedicated exclusively to the coalition’s legal work. Taxpayers across blue states are literally funding a pre-planned legal ambush that began before Trump won.
The standard Democratic talking point has always been that their lawsuits are about the rule of law. The April 2024 document proves that was never true. This was always about resistance — planned in secret, coordinated across state lines, funded by taxpayers who never consented to it, and launched against a president whose only offense at the time was being the likely Republican nominee.
That’s not the rule of law. That’s a political operation that bought itself a bar association membership.
BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s Cause Of Death Revealed: ‘Brief Battle’
Dolly Parton’s death came after a brief battle with cancer, her representatives revealed Tuesday.
The country music legend died Aug. 25 at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville. She was 80.
Parton had been admitted to the cancer center Friday, four days before her death. Her representatives confirmed the cancer diagnosis in a statement to PEOPLE but did not disclose what type she had.
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” the statement read.
“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact. After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones,” the statement concluded.
The “Jolene” singer had also been dealing with kidney and autoimmune issues before her death, PEOPLE previously reported.
Just days earlier, Dolly Parton opened up about her declining health and acknowledged that she had put off addressing some medical issues while caring for her husband, Carl.
“As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over [my husband] Carl. You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to manage something like this. Back in the early ’80s, I was down for several months with female issues, and I was struggling with my weight at the time too, so it’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health,” Parton told PEOPLE.
Her nephew, Bryan Seaver, announced her death in an Instagram video Tuesday on behalf of the Parton and Owens family.
“My name is Bryan Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I’m representing the Parton and Owens family today announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next,” he says in the video.
Seaver, who served as Parton’s head of security for more than two decades, said she had asked him years earlier to deliver the announcement.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,” he continued. “As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it until now.”
Seaver said the moment brought immense pride and heartbreak, but he took comfort in his faith that Parton had been reunited with Carl and other loved ones.
Seaver added: “It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents and countless othe
Shocking 'truth' behind Prince Harry's decision to quit major role
Prince Harry should have "resigned in disgrace" from the board of a controversial African wildlife charity, a commentator says. James Walker makes the bombshell remark in Wednesday's episode of this publication's podcast, Daily Expresso.
He and the show's host, JJ Anisiobi, delve into the Duke of Sussex's dramatic decision to step down from African Parks. James, commenting on the controversy, said: "When you hear about this stuff and how long it's been going on for, you should be resigning in disgrace. [Harry] should be saying: 'I'm not touching that with a barge pole. That is a failed entity. We're going nowhere near it'.
"But no. He's still saying he's going to 'support their mission'. And again this Caroline Pearce, executive director of Survival International, goes on to say: 'His departure doesn't undo that record'.
"She alleged that African Parks was aware of the abuses for years, but it was only after Survival complained to Harry that the charity finally commissioned an investigation."
James added: "Well, she's got a point."
It emerged on Monday (August 24) that Harry was no longer a board member of the wildlife charity.
The conservation organisation has admitted that human rights abuses were committed by its rangers against members of the semi-nomadic Baka group in Congo-Brazzaville.
African Parks has said since that it has improved its safeguarding processes both in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park and institutionally.
Its admission followed an independent human rights investigation into allegations guards managed and paid by the charity had beaten, raped and tortured indigenous people in Odzala-Kokoua National Park.
Harry was president of the charity for six years before he became a member of its board of directors in 2023.
A spokesman for the Duke said he remains an active and avid supporter of African Parks. He added: "The Duke is proud of his 10 years with African Parks and fully supports the ongoing strengthening of its board.
"His commitment to conservation in Africa continues and he remains a supporter of African Parks’ mission."
Human rights organisation, Survival International, said it had been calling on Harry to step down from African Parks for years.
The group's director, Caroline Pearce, said in a statement: "It’s outrageous that for 10 years Prince Harry has served African Parks while the organisation has been responsible for abuse and violence against Indigenous people.
"His departure doesn't undo that record — African Parks itself must now be held accountable, and must abandon this model of fortress conservation for good."
Survival International said indigenous peoples know how best to manage their land and the idea outsiders know better is racist and colonial.
