February 21, 2025

New York, NY— This evening, Corporation Counsel Muriel Goode-Trufant and the New York City Law Department filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security over the $80.5 million seized from New York City’s bank accounts. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander released the following statement:

“After my office discovered that Elon Musk and his DOGE goon squad stole $80 million out of the City’s coffers, we successfully pressured Mayor Adams to allow the City’s lawyers to sue the federal government to get our money back. The lawyers who are standing up to President Trump and Eric Adams’ collusion deserve praise and we look forward to Donald Trump returning the money he stole from New York.”
