MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Vermont’s attorney general has joined an effort to temporarily block the Trump Administration from defunding medical and public health research.
Attorney General Charity Clark, along with a coalition of 21 other attorneys general, sued the administration for unlawfully cutting funds that support cutting-edge medical and public health research at universities and research institutions across the country.
Just hours later, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against the National Institutes of Health, stopping its attempt to cut billions in funding for biomedical and public health research.
