California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office has filed 46 lawsuits this year against the Trump administration, many of them challenging what Bonta considers the president’s overreach. Almost a year into Trump’s second term, Bonta joins Marisa and Scott in studio to give an update on California's resistance. They also discuss if he's reconsidering a run for governor of California and his campaign spending nearly half a million dollars on legal fees amid a corruption case against the Duong family.
