The state of California has decided to throw out its lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his administration after it took in close to $4 billion in federal funding for its high-speed rail project, providing Trump with yet another major legal victory. Court documents reveal that California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office filed a notice on December 23, 2025, to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice on behalf of the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), which was working to have the money for the project reinstated.
“This action reflects the State’s assessment that the federal government is not a reliable, constructive, or trustworthy partner in advancing high-speed rail in California,” an authority spokesperson went on to say in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The Federal Railroad Administration stated that all work performed by the Authority – whether undertaken as part of cooperative agreements or otherwise – remains ‘at risk’ and may not receive funding. Combined with the Administration’s persistent lack of good-faith engagement, this made clear that the federal government is unlikely to uphold its commitments to California. As a result, the State has opted to move forward without the Trump administration. We regret that they will not share in California’s success,” the spokesperson continued.
