Gavin Newsom’s proposed $25 million anti-Trump war chest, which the California governor announced Monday, will stop the president-elect from “breaking the law,” the state’s Attorney General Rob Bonta told CNN’s Jake Tapper later that evening.

Asked while on “The Lead” Monday what the special budget legislation requesting $25 million would be used for, Bonta detailed the number of ways that President-elect Trump is anticipated to break the law, from not following the processes of the Administrative Procedures Act, to violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, to misallocating funds for projects that they’re not meant for and more.
