Ali VelshiHOST
But this was just one component of the Trump administration's efforts to assert federal control over the administration of elections, a power that's granted to the states by the Constitution, and we shouldn't assume that the administration is done.
Ali VelshiHOST
Joining me now is Nick Brown, Attorney General for Washington State, one of the states involved in the case the Supreme Court ruled on tonight.
Ali VelshiHOST
Uh, Attorney General Brown, good to see you again.
Ali VelshiHOST
Thank you for being with us.
6 MINS LATER
Ali VelshiHOST
We appreciate it.
Nick BrownGUEST
Thank you.
Ali VelshiHOST
Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown.
Ali VelshiHOST
All right, joining me now-
Brandi KruseHOST
I think that's dumb.
Brandi KruseHOST
So, uh, Pete Serrano, who ran for attorney general, ended up losing the campaign to Nick Brown, he has been still, even though he hasn't been confirmed by the Senate, the de facto United States attorney for the Eastern District of Washington in Spokane, but he's just been sort of sitting there, as has the US attorney for the Eastern District of Washington.
Brandi KruseHOST
So President Trump did something really interesting.
Brandi KruseHOST
He's now nominated Pete Serrano again, but not for the Eastern District, for the Western District in Seattle.
Daniel MaloneGUEST
The state of Washington is actually the lead plaintiff on one of the lawsuits with a consortium of states, about two dozen states.
Sandeep KaushikHOST
These are basically Democratic AGs, so Nick Brown in the attorney general's office is in the lead on that? Yeah, that's right.
Daniel MaloneGUEST
I believe that there is one or two states where it's the Democratic governor that is the named plaintiff when that state's attorney general is not a Democrat and not suing.
Daniel MaloneGUEST
I think that's how that is.
Michael BrooksSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
the California Attorney General, about mail-in ballots in the last 24 hours.
Michael BrooksSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's his case that's at stake here, along with Nick Brown of the Washington Attorney General's office, the Washington Attorney General, who's the head of the Democratic Attorney's General Voter Protection Task Force, also about this case.
Michael BrooksSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then, of course, I have the great Mark Elias, who's handling one of these cases with us.
Michael BrooksSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And we'll go to those interview clips in a moment.
21 MINS LATER
Brad FriedmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These documents, she notes, illustrate a significantly damaging and corrosive aspect of Donald Trump's big lie that is often overlooked.
Brad FriedmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The assertion of false claims that the 2020 election was stolen bred the false counter narrative that our elections are adequately secured.
Michael BrooksSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, I had the honor of interviewing Nick Brown, who's the Attorney General of Washington, one of the leaders here of this case.
Michael BrooksSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And here's what he had to say in advance of Judge Talwani, although he did tell me that he believed that Judge Talwani would do exactly what she did, which was to enter that emergency injunction on Thursday night.
Paige BrowningHOST
State government reporter Sarah Mizes-Tan has more.
Sarah Mizes-TanCORRESPONDENT
Attorney General Nick Brown is arguing that new rules enacted by the Trump administration could be devastating for endangered animals.
Nick BrownSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These two lawsuits are incredibly important because the loss of federal protections would potentially devastate endangered species like orcas and salmon that are inseparable from Washington State's economy, our identity, and our traditions.
Sarah Mizes-TanCORRESPONDENT
The new rules would make it easier for oil drilling and mining to happen in protected areas where endangered species live.
Michael PopokHOST
Let me just give you an idea.
Michael PopokHOST
I've got Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, AG, AG Dana Nessel of Michigan, AG Nick Brown of the State of Washington, AG Jay Jones of Virginia, AG, uh, one after another, Lopez of Hawaii.
Michael PopokHOST
Uh, and you're gonna be watching them with me talking about voter intimidation, um, protection of the mail-in ballots, protection of voters' rights at polling places, protection of voter data.
Michael PopokHOST
It's gonna be an all-voter, hands on deck.
Michael PopokHOST
This one says, Bonnie Joe, Bonnie Joe says, "Johnson and Trump, what if they refuse to seat any Dems that are voted in at the midterms or shut down the House?" Yeah, that's a very good observation, and I just asked that very question with the Democratic attorneys general, uh, today, and you're gonna be seeing my content, my interviews with them over the next couple of days.
Michael PopokHOST
Uh, and Nick Brown, who's the Washington State Attorney General, but leads the, uh, the DAGA, Democratic Attorney Generals Association Voter Protection Task Force, he said they're ready.
Michael PopokHOST
They're ready not just from now till the...
Michael PopokHOST
It's not, uh, it's actually not a 56-day fight.
Sylvan GrothHOST
It's the fifth time that we've had a guest.

Steve AbramowiczHOST
Pete Serrano, on the Republican ticket, ran for election for attorney general of Washington State.
Steve AbramowiczHOST

Steve AbramowiczHOST
No easy task.
Steve AbramowiczHOST
Three months before the general, he beat Nick Brown, the Democrat, 42-35 in a three-way race with socialist Manka Dhingra, yeah, that's a real person, getting 815,000 to Brown's 682 and Manka's 435.
Steve AbramowiczHOST
After years of fighting the good fight in Washington with his Silent Majority Foundation, I'm wearing the sweater, on January 20th, 2025, Pete Serrano has been appointed as special attorney to the attorney general and the first assistant for the Eastern District of Washington.
Steve AbramowiczHOST
But it wasn't easy.
22 MINS LATER
