DOJ Memo Undermines Trump Administration's Efforts to Block NYC's Congestion Pricing
An internal DOJ memo accidentally filed in court reveals doubts about the Trump administration's strategy to overturn NYC's congestion pricing.


Summary
A recently leaked internal memo from the DOJ suggests that the Trump administration's strategy to halt New York City's congestion pricing may be legally flawed. The memo acknowledged considerable risks and recommended alternative tactics for the Department of Transportation. The misfiled document coincided with tensions between the DOJ and the Transportation Department, leading to the reassignment of the lawyers involved. Critics argue that the congestion toll is a burden on working-class individuals. New York officials maintain that the program is essential for reducing traffic and funding public transit improvements.
