From Breitbart: Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a new broadside against the state of Maine Tuesday in the Trump administration’s ongoing row with that state’s elected officials over the inclusion of trans athletes in girls’ and women’s sports.
Flanked by women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines and Maine State Representative Laurel Libby, Bondi announced that the Department of Justice will launch a lawsuit against Maine over its refusal to comply with President Trump’s executive order, which interpreted Title IX to prohibit the inclusion of men in women’s sports.
Maine has steadfastly clung to President Biden’s reinterpretation of Title IX, which would allow those identifying as transgender to compete in women’s athletics.
“They must not be reading the same Title IX we’re reading,” Bondi said. The complaint accuses Maine of “openly and defiantly flouting federal anti-discrimination law.”
“The state of Maine is discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women’s sports,” Bondi declared.
WATCH BELOW as Bondi announced her lawsuit against Maine Wednesday morning:
During a governors’ event at the White House in February, Maine Gov. Janet Mills had defiantly declared she would not comply with Trump’s order to keep men out of women’s sports, and snapped, “See you in court.”

“Gov. Mills will definitely get her wish,” declared Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Wednesday.
“See you in court,” @GovJanetMills told @POTUS in February over her refusal to protect women and girls in sports.

Gov. Mills responded to the lawsuit by claiming there are “only two” transgenders participating in girls’ sports in the state of Maine.
WATCH Bondi’s reaction to that claim:
🚨Gov. Janet Mills says only two trans-identifying MALES are competing in GIRLS’ sports in Maine. That’s one too many. And what about the ones flying under the radar?
She isn’t protecting girls…she’s sacrificing them. Utterly sick and misogynist. pic.twitter.com/9ywt80Qc7X
