NC Department of Justice (AG Jeff Jackson)
U.S. center-left (Democratic state government office)
The North Carolina Department of Justice is a state government agency, not a media outlet; its public communications — press releases, legal filings, and statements — reflect the positions of its elected leader, Democratic AG Jeff Jackson. Jackson won a narrow 51–49% race against Republican Dan Bishop in November 2024 and has made challenging Trump administration policies a defining feature of his tenure. Since January 2025 he has joined or led roughly 18–20 federal lawsuits against the administration, recovering over $1.5 billion in withheld federal funds for North Carolina.
