Trump not held in contempt in WA gender-affirming care case [View all]
A judge has denied the Washington attorney general’s attempt to hold the Trump administration in contempt over allegations it flouted a court order in a case involving hospital grant funding for gender-affirming care.
The attorney general’s office argued President Donald Trump overstepped in canceling a grant to Seattle Children’s Hospital despite a court order blocking Trump’s attempt to halt federal funding for institutions that provide gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
At the time of the cancellation, U.S. District Court Judge Lauren King’s temporary restraining order in the case was active. Later the same day, King indefinitely blocked Trump’s executive order with a preliminary injunction.
The state had asked King to hold the administration in contempt and award attorney’s fees. She declined to do so on Monday.
