Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, whose state is one of 16 suing President Donald Trump in retaliation for his national emergency declaration, denounced the move, accusing him of sidestepping Congress to steal money for his border wall.

“The president is breaking the law, and he’s shredding the Constitution,” Tong told CNN Tuesday. “He’s declared a national emergency where there is none.”

Like other opponents of Trump’s emergency, the attorney general pointed to the president’s own acknowledgment that it was unnecessary, noting that “he said he didn’t have to do this and then he went off and played golf.”
