Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Wednesday morning that the Department of Justice is suing the Maine Department of Education over its continued defiance of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in February blocking biological males from competing in women’s sports.
Bondi said in a morning press conference, "the state of Maine is discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women’s sports, pretty basic stuff. This is a violation of Title IX."
