Washington state's attorney general is suing U.S. President Donald Trump to try to stop him from diverting $89 million from a military project to help fund the border wall with Mexico.
State Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed his lawsuit Thursday in a federal court in his state.
"Our nation's founders enshrined our system of checks and balances in our Constitution. President Trump's action threatens to undermine that system. We will not allow that to happen," Ferguson said.
He asserted that Trump's plan to divert military funds to the border wall was unconstitutional because Congress didn't authorize the money for the wall.
