福克斯独家消息：一个关键的保守派组织指控民主党执政州对特朗普政府提起无理诉讼，称其缺乏实际依据，并呼吁国会介入。
由特朗普顾问斯蒂芬·米勒创立的非营利组织”美国优先法律”（America First Legal，简称AFL）敦促俄亥俄州共和党众议员、众议院司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹展开调查，针对蓝州实施的”法战”（lawfare），该组织称这是阻碍总统唐纳德·特朗普施政目标的更广泛努力的一部分。
该组织法律顾问威尔·斯科利诺斯在信中写道：”美国优先法律基金会（AFL）发现了一种试图颠覆特朗普政府议程的全国性模式：民主党控制的州对特朗普政府提起诉讼，但在许多情况下，这些州无法证明其所谓的损害。”

据法律战媒体（Lawfare Media）的诉讼跟踪数据显示，目前有超过200起活跃案件在质疑特朗普政府的各项政策，其中数十起由加利福尼亚、科罗拉多、明尼苏达和纽约等州提起。
斯科利诺斯表示，AFL对蓝州的诉讼展开调查后，据称发现其中许多诉讼均未提供确凿证据支持其主张。
信中称：”AFL的调查显示，这些民主党控制的州在声称受到损害的同时，却无法提供相应证据支持其诉求。”
“根本问题不仅在于法院未能严格执行起诉资格要求，更在于州总检察长基于其自身代理机构无法证实的推测性损害提起诉讼。”

信中指出，这”引发了严重疑问：这些诉讼是出于善意提起，还是旨在通过司法干预阻挠特朗普政府的合法政策。”
例如，四个因特朗普政府跨性别政策提起诉讼的州表示，”他们缺乏回应AFL关于诉讼依据的询问所需的记录”。
信中还提到，在20个加入起诉美国国土安全部（DHS）获取联邦医疗补助数据以调查非法移民是否获得医疗福利的州中，有五个州同样告知AFL无法提供其要求的记录。
AFL表示：”这种行为不仅破坏了联邦法院系统的完整性，还滥用司法程序阻挠特朗普政府的合法政策——这些政策是美国民众投票支持的。”

“鉴于委员会对《美国法典》第28编和《联邦民事诉讼规则》的管辖权，我们请求你调查这种行为模式，并考虑是否有必要采取立法行动。”
众议院司法委员会发言人在接受福克斯新闻数字版采访时表示：”我们感谢美国优先法律的卓越工作。我们正在评估这份报告，一切都在考虑中。”

Trump-aligned law group urges Jim Jordan to probe ‘nationwide pattern’ of blue-state ‘lawfare’
A spokesperson for Jim Jordan said ‘everything is on the table’

FIRST ON FOX: A key conservative group is accusing Democrat-run states of launching frivolous lawsuits against the Trump administration with no actual cause, and is calling on Congress to intervene.
America First Legal, a nonprofit founded by Trump advisor Stephen Miller, is urging House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to open a probe into “lawfare” conducted by blue states that it says is part of a larger effort to block President Donald Trump’s goals.
“America First Legal Foundation (‘AFL’) has uncovered a nationwide pattern to subvert the agenda of the Trump administration: Democrat-controlled states have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, yet in many cases, the states are unable to show any support for their alleged injuries,” the group’s legal counsel Will Scolinos wrote.

There are over 200 active cases challenging various Trump administration policies right now, according to Lawfare Media’s litigation tracker. Dozens of those have been launched by states like California, Colorado, Minnesota and New York.
Scolinos said AFL launched a probe into various blue states’ lawsuits — and allegedly found many of them have been filed without concrete evidence to back up the claims they make.
“AFL’s investigation reveals that these Democrat-controlled states are pleading allegations of harm for which there is no corresponding evidence to support their claims,” the letter said.
“The fundamental problem is not merely that courts are failing to rigorously enforce standing requirements, but that state attorneys general are filing complaints premised on speculative injuries that their own client agencies cannot substantiate.”

The letter said it “raises serious questions about whether these lawsuits are being filed in good faith or are instead designed to obstruct the lawful policies of the Trump Administration through judicial intervention.”
Four states that sued the Trump administration over its transgender policies, for example, said “they lacked records” necessary to respond to AFL’s inquiries over the basis of those lawsuits, the letter said.
Five of 20 states that joined a lawsuit over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) getting access to federal Medicaid data to probe whether illegal immigrants were getting health benefits similarly told AFL that it could not provide records it requested, the letter said.
“Such conduct not only undermines the integrity of the federal court system but also abuses the judicial process to obstruct the lawful policies of the Trump Administration—policies that the American people voted for,” AFL said.

“Given the Committee’s jurisdiction over Title 28 and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we request that you investigate this pattern of conduct and consider whether legislative action is warranted.”
A spokesperson for the House Judiciary Committee told Fox News Digital when reached for comment, “We appreciate this tremendous work from America First Legal. We are evaluating the report and everything is on the table.”
