Maine drops lawsuit vs. Trump admin amid trans athlete feud after federal funding is unfrozen

Maine state Rep. Laurel Libby spoke to Fox News Digital about her appeal to the Supreme Court and the social media post that identified a trans athlete.

The state of Maine and President Donald Trump came to one small agreement in their large-scale feud over the issue of trans athletes in girls' sports. 

In exchange for the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreeing to restore federal funds to Maine that it had frozen, the state dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration over that issue. 

The lawsuit was filed April 7 after a federal funding freeze in response to the state's refusal to keep trans athletes out of girls sports.

Federal Judge John Woodcock ordered the Trump administration to restore those funds April 12. Woodcock, a senior judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maine, was appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2003. 

Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey's office released a statement addressing the settlement Friday afternoon. 

"It’s unfortunate that my office had to resort to federal court just to get USDA to comply with the law and its own regulations," Frey said. "But we are pleased that the lawsuit has now been resolved and that Maine will continue to receive funds as directed by Congress to feed children and vulnerable adults."

However, the state is still facing other legal battles related to the issue.
