Attorney General Jones, along with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, and District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb, are leading a coalition of 21 attorneys general and the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in filing two lawsuits against the Trump administration for demanding production of a database of state-owned records containing the sensitive personal information of 17 million drivers and threatening to terminate more than $10 million in federal funding to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators if it refuses.  

“Donald Trump continues to take illegal measures to violate Virginians’ right to privacy and seize power from states. If states refuse to roll over and accept the creation of this personal information database, which will be built using CDL information, his administration is threatening to pull critical funding. The Commonwealth will not bend to these illegal demands and threats. I am proud to stand with attorneys general around the nation in fighting back against the President’s latest attacks.” – AG Jones
