Alabama AG Steve Marshall pulls out of National Attorneys General Association
Updated 7:23 AM;
Yellowhammer News reported the decision on Monday.
Mike Lewis, spokesman for Marshall, confirmed the decision to AL.com but had no further comment. According to Yellowhammer, Marshall pulled out of the organization because he said it has moved too far to the left in its policies.
“I can’t justify spending taxpayer dollars to fund an organization that seems to be going further and further left,” Marshall said. “With the money we will save, I can add a young lawyer to my consumer protection division and yield a far better return on the taxpayer’s investment.”

ATLANTA (AP) Georgia’s top prosecutor has resigned as chairman of the national Republican Attorneys General Association, saying he has had a “fundamental difference of opinion” with some of the other 24 members since the group encouraged the crowd that breached the Capitol on Jan. 6. Republican Chris Carr’s break with the group, made in an April 16 resignation letter first obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reflects a continuing divide as some high-ranking Republicans seek to distance themselves from Donald Trump and others try to demonstrate their loyalty to the former president. The association’s fundraising arm, the Rule of Law Defense Fund, paid for a robocall urging attendance at the rally that immediately preceded the violent breaching of the Capitol.
