AG Campbell led a coalition of 16 attorneys general in issuing a joint statement ahead of a court hearing in Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. National Institutes of Health. At today’s hearing, the plaintiffs will seek an extension of its Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the Trump Administration’s unlawful cuts to funds that support cutting-edge medical and public health research at universities and research institutions across the country. The statement condemns President Trump for "play[ing] politics with our public health" and urges the Court to continue to block these proposed funding cuts.
