Maine lawmakers send letter to Trump condemning Gov Janet Mills over trans athletes in girls' sports policies

State Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Maine, joins 'Fox & Friends Weekend' to discuss the president's clash with Maine Gov. Janet Mills over his executive order to protect women's sports.

FIRST ON FOX: A letter signed by 14 Maine state senators was sent to the White House on Tuesday, condemning Gov. Janet Mills for her continued support of trans inclusion in girls' sports. 

The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, also praised President Donald Trump's administration for its handling of the situation in Maine.
