LePage sues Maine attorney general over access to Trump immigration ban challenge
Source: Bangor Daily News
A legal feud between Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage and the state’s Democratic attorney general returned to court recently when the governor filed a new complaint alleging his political foe is improperly holding back public records he wants to see.
In a complaint filed in Androscoggin County Superior Court, LePage alleges Attorney General Janet Mills willfully refused to provide access to public records that should have been turned over.
The move escalates a legal fight the pair have engaged in much of the year after Mills refused to provide legal help for LePage’s effort to defend immigration bans imposed by President Donald Trump.
Mills is among the leading contenders for her party’s gubernatorial nomination next year as politicians from across the spectrum vie for the chance to succeed LePage, who has to step down after two terms because of term limits.
