The Trump Administration is at the center of another lawsuit. Yesterday, a number of advocacy groups sued the administration “over what they call the biased makeup of a wildlife advisory council.” Filed in a U.S. District Court in New York, the suit argues that the “International Wildlife Conservation Council is made up of hunting enthusiasts and politically-connected donors,” all of whom are allegedly likely to create or sponsor policies “for groups that profit from hunting “imperiled animals.”
