“Bloomberg Philanthropies financed a group that is planting private attorneys into state attorneys general offices for the explicit purpose of pushing back against Trump�s regulatory rollbacks,” the Daily Caller reported over the weekend.

According to the publication, New York University�s State Energy and Environmental Impact Center, which Bloomberg�s philanthropy supported the center with a $6 million grant, is working to “identify and hire NYU Law Fellows who serve as special assistant attorneys general in state attorney general offices, focusing on clean energy, climate and environmental matters.”
