New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin has continued his resistance against the Trump administration by joining a lawsuit challenging the firings of federal probationary workers. However, his efforts have not been well-received by the state’s Republican leaders, who have introduced articles of impeachment against him, accusing him of prioritizing headlines over the safety of residents.
In response to criticisms, Platkin emphasized that his focus remains on keeping New Jersey residents safe, with recent accomplishments including a major bust of an opioid manufacturing ring and record lows in gun violence and auto theft. He also highlighted his involvement in lawsuits against the administration, one of which aims to reinstate employees affected by federal job cuts.
Platkin stressed the importance of following laws regarding large-scale reductions in force to prevent mistakes that could impact critical functions such as nuclear regulation and air travel. Despite push-back from critics, Platkin is determined to uphold the law and protect the interests of New Jersey residents.
