California, 16 other states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration over EPA plans to scrap car emissions standards, with Gov. Jerry Brown calling administrator Scott Pruitt, “Outlaw Pruitt.”
Brown, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Air Resources Chair Mary Nichols announced the lawsuit at a press conference in Sacramento on Tuesday.
In some of his toughest language yet aimed at Pruitt and the Trump administration, Gov. Brown accused Pruitt of “riding roughshod over the laws of this country and the health of our people.”
