Democratic attorneys general from 19 states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing it of seeking unauthorized access to sensitive personal data. The lawsuit, announced today, alleges that the administration is seeking access to this information for political purposes, not for legitimate government functions.

The lawsuit specifically targets the Department of Treasury, which the Democratic AGs claim is attempting to gain access to sensitive personal data without a valid reason. The Trump administration has denied the allegations, stating that they are simply trying to ensure the security of the nation's financial information.

This is not the first time that the Trump administration has faced legal challenges from Democratic state attorneys general. In a separate lawsuit, the administration is being accused of improperly influencing research grant decisions at the National Institutes of Health. The lawsuit alleges that Trump and his administration are attempting to push an anti-science agenda by interfering with the NIH's grant-making process.

Both lawsuits are indicative of the ongoing battles between the Trump administration and Democratic-led states, as tensions continue to escalate in the political arena.
