Presidential candidate and billionaire Michael Bloomberg has been funding climate lawyers inside liberal state attorney general offices to push his climate agenda.

Fox News reported that a program funded by Bloomberg pays the salaries of these attorneys to “pursue climate-based litigation.”

“The arrangement, which currently pays the salaries of Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs) in 10 Democratic AG offices, is drawing new scrutiny now that Bloomberg is running for president. The New York University School of Law’s State Energy & Environmental Impact Center, which was started in 2017 with $5.6 million from Bloomberg’s nonprofit, hires mid-career lawyers as ‘research fellows’ before providing them to state AGs where they assist in pursuing ‘progressive’ policy goals through the courts,” Fox reported.

A number of Republican attorneys general have raised concerns about Bloomberg’s funding of government lawyers, especially since he began his 2020 presidential campaign.

“This is a fundamental question of ethics and who’s running our government,” West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey told Fox. “When you actually get to place someone in under a specific agenda and then pay them and they’re within the office, that starts to call into question whether there are multiple masters within an attorney general office and that starts to really stink.”
