Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown has joined a coalition of 22 attorneys general in suing President Donald Trump’s administration over funding cuts to National Institutes of Health grants. The lawsuit aims to block the slashing of medical research funding, which the attorneys general argue is a devastating blow to universities and research institutions. A federal judge in Massachusetts has temporarily blocked the cuts and will hold a hearing to determine their legality.
At a news conference, Brown criticized Trump’s decision as draconian and a threat to American higher education and global research leadership. He emphasized the importance of NIH funding for saving lives, creating jobs, and maintaining Maryland’s research leadership. Brown also addressed other executive orders from the White House, cautioning federal workers about potential false promises related to staff cuts and expressing support for transgender rights.
As the legal battle unfolds, Brown remains committed to protecting Maryland’s interests and upholding American democracy amidst the challenges posed by the administration’s actions.
