A group of 17 Democrat state attorneys general filed a lawsuit Monday in an attempt to block President Trump's suspension of leasing and permitting new wind projects.
The lawsuit, led by New York state, accused Trump of exceeding his authority and said his administration violated federal administrative law by not offering any detailed justification for the suspension.
The lawsuit seeks a court order declaring the indefinite pause unlawful and barring the agencies including the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency from implementing Trump's directive.
Trump announced the pause on January 20, the first day of his term, when he ordered a halt of offshore wind lease sales as well as the issuance of permits, leases and loans for onshore and offshore wind projects.
