Over a dozen attorneys general from Democratic-led states are suing the Federal Emergency Management Agency for cutting bipartisan-approved funding for natural disaster response.According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.

State prosecutors want to restore $4.5 billion in canceled funding and to declare that FEMA's acting administrator is serving "unlawfully."

FEMA announced in April that it was ending the funding to eliminate “waste, fraud and abuse.” The program saved taxpayers more than $150 billion over 20 years, the plaintiffs said.
