Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is joining the fight to cut fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government.
Marshall joined 19 other attorneys general in an amicus brief defending President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump has tasked Elon Musk to head the newly created agency, but the administration has been stifled in it’s effort by several lawsuits attempting to block the them.
“The American people have been loud and clear: they want President Trump to cut waste, eliminate fraud, and protect their tax dollars,” Marshall said. “Yet, the radical left is using the courts to shield corruption and obstruct the President’s efforts. These baseless lawsuits are nothing more than a last-ditch effort to preserve a broken system. I stand firmly with DOGE and will continue fighting to ensure this administration can expose and eliminate the fraud that has plagued our federal government for far too long.”

The attorneys general argue in the brief that the lawsuits are inhibiting the Constitutional role of the President of the United States.
“Plaintiffs’ attempt to assert themselves into the operation of the Executive branch of federal government is improper,” they argue. “And given that the Plaintiffs in this case are also States, amici’s perspective ensures that the Court is aware of strong counterarguments from States as to how their position may affect State interests.”
Other states that participated in the brief include Iowa, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah.
