    August 16, 2017 The Honorable Roger Wicker Chairman Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation The Honorable Brian Schatz Ranking Member Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation The Honorable Marsha Blackburn Chairman House of Representatives Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Committee on Energy and Commerce The Honorable Michael Doyle Ranking Member House of Representative Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Committee on Energy and Commerce RE: Amendment of Communications Decency Act Dear Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Schatz, Chairman Blackburn, and Ranking Member Doyle: In 2013, Attorneys General from 49 states and territories wrote to Congress, informing it that some courts have interpreted the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (“CDA”) to render state and local authorities unable to take action against companies that actively profit from the promotion and facilitation of sex trafficking and crimes against children. Unfortunately, nearly four years later, this problem persists and these criminal profiteers often continue to operate with impunity. The recent news highlighting the potential complicity of online classified-ad company Backpage.com in soliciting sex traffickers’ ads for its website once again underscores the need 1850 M Street, NW to expand, not limit, the ability of all law-enforcement agencies to fight sex Twelfth Floor Washington, DC 20036 Phone: (202) 326-6000 http://www.naag.org/ trafficking.1 The undersigned Attorneys General once again respectfully request that the United States Congress amend the CDA to affirm that state, territorial, and local authorities retain their traditional jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute those who facilitate illicit acts and endanger our most vulnerable citizens.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks to the National
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks to the National Association of Attorneys General March 4, 2019 The President. Thank you. Please. Thank you very much. I'm very honored to welcome our State Attorneys General back to the White House. We were together last year, and I said, "I'm inviting you back." And a lot things have been done, a lot of progress has been made. And, Vice President, thank you very much for being here. You were here last year, and we're here again, Mike. Tornadoes in Southeastern and Gulf Coast States Let me begin by saying our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating storms in Alabama, Georgia, and the surrounding States, and especially to the families of those who have tragically lost their lives. I've spoken with Governor Ivey, and we're working closely with officials throughout the region to get our communities back on their feet. Attorney General Marshall and General Carr, when you get home, please tell the people of the great States of Alabama and Georgia that America has their backs. We have a call in to Brian Kemp, and we have let them know and— the Governor and everybody—that we're with you a hundred percent. Thank you very much. A hundred percent, we'll be there. Thank you. National Association of Attorneys General I want to thank your National Association president, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a friend of mine. We're also grateful to be joined by our fantastic new Attorney General, Bill Barr.

Two January 5, 2021 runoff elections in Georgia will determine Senate control.

  • January 12, 2021 the Honorable Jeffrey A. Rosen Acting Attorney
    January 12, 2021 The Honorable Jeffrey A. Rosen Acting Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Acting Attorney General Rosen: We, the undersigned state attorneys general, are committed to the protection of public safety, the rule of law, and the U.S. Constitution. We are appalled that on January 6, 2021, rioters invaded the U.S. Capitol, defaced the building, and engaged in a range of criminal conduct—including unlawful entry, theft, destruction of U.S. government property, and assault. Worst of all, the riot resulted in the deaths of individuals, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer, and others were physically injured. Beyond these harms, the rioters’ actions temporarily paused government business of the most sacred sort in our system—certifying the result of a presidential election. We all just witnessed a very dark day in America. The events of January 6 represent a direct, physical challenge to the rule of law and our democratic republic itself. Together, we will continue to do our part to repair the damage done to institutions and build a more perfect union. As Americans, and those charged with enforcing the law, we must come together to condemn lawless violence, making clear that such actions will not be allowed to go unchecked. Thank you for your consideration of and work on this crucial priority. Sincerely Phil Weiser Karl A. Racine Colorado Attorney General District of Columbia Attorney General Lawrence Wasden Douglas Peterson Idaho Attorney General Nebraska Attorney General Steve Marshall Clyde “Ed” Sniffen, Jr. Alabama Attorney General Acting Alaska Attorney General Mark Brnovich Leslie Rutledge Arizona Attorney General Arkansas Attorney General Xavier Becerra William Tong California Attorney General Connecticut Attorney General Kathleen Jennings Ashley Moody Delaware Attorney General Florida Attorney General Christopher M.

  • October 22, 2019 Scott Schenkel Ebay Interim Chief Executive Officer
    October 22, 2019 Scott Schenkel eBay Interim Chief Executive Officer 2025 Hamilton Avenue San Jose, California 95125 Mr. Schenkel: Social media and digital platforms have become interwoven into the fabric of our society. Consumers have become increasingly dependent on the broad access to goods for sale through these mediums. Unfortunately, the near- unlimited access to goods has increasingly exposed consumers, including minors, to unlicensed sales of alcohol and counterfeit products. We are seeking your assistance to address some of the challenges to consumer protection associated with online marketplaces and to improve the legitimacy of these sales. We are aware of the occurrence of unlicensed, unregulated, and untaxed alcohol sales through digital platforms. Some of the products sold in this manner may be counterfeit, mislabeled, or fraudulent. The consumer may not know that this method of alcohol sales is illegitimate, or that these black- market products could pose health risks. Bad actors may exploit the anonymity of a digital platform to evade regulation, law enforcement, taxation and responsibility. The 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution firmly invests the right to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages with each state. Each online content company operating within the United States has a legal obligation to comply with federal and state law. But that is simply a legal obligation. We believe that everyone has an ethical and moral responsibility to protect consumers, especially those who are most vulnerable to fraud. Self-regulation and self- policing to prevent illegal and unfair trade practices and ensure consumer safety are minimum responsibilities for your respective companies.

Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 RE: Support of S. 3607, Safeguarding America’s First Responders Act of 2020 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader McCarthy, Minority Leader Schumer, Chairman Nadler and Ranking Member Jordan, As State Attorneys General, and the chief legal officers of our respective states, we encourage Congress to swiftly enact S. 3607, the Safeguarding America’s First Responders Act of 2020 (“SAFR”). Our public safety officers risk their lives every day to keep us safe but the COVID-19 pandemic has made their sacrifice clearer. As public safety officers in our states have battled the COVID-19 pandemic, they have put themselves at risk while most Americans were able to stay home. When public safety officers are called to respond, they do not know whether they are coming into contact with a person who is positive for COVID-19. We have seen harrowing stories about how public safety officers have taken heroic actions to save the lives of others, knowing that they risked infection in doing so.1 As Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said, “There’s no way for a 2 1850 M Street, NW police officer to do their job and not potentially be exposed to the virus.” And Twelfth Floor sadly, in many of our states, first responders have lost their lives to COVID- Washington, DC 20036 19.

  • 20200721 COVID Scams U.S. Senate
    “Protecting America from COVID-19 Scams” Presented to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Manufacturing, Trade and Consumer Protection By Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt July 21, 2020 Chairman Moran, Ranking Minority Member Blumenthal, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for the opportunity to present this testimony as the committee discusses the unfortunate reality that scam artists are exploiting this global pandemic in attempts to profit unlawfully. I appreciate the invitation to offer the perspective of a state attorney general’s office and share the types of scams that are being reported to our office, the ways our office is responding and the cooperative work we have engaged in with federal partners. Expectations and Preparations While none of us has experienced a global pandemic on the scale of COVID-19, our office has had plenty of experience dealing with more localized disasters, such as tornadoes and floods. We know from that experience that scam artists often take advantage of those situations to prey on people during a time of distress and disruption. We expected COVID-19 would be no different. On March 12, our office issued the first consumer alert advising Kansans to keep up their guard and watch out for COVID-19-related scams, such as bogus products advertised as coronavirus prevention measures or treatments as well as bogus charities purporting to raise money for coronavirus research or to support coronavirus patients. Later that same day, the governor of Kansas declared a state of emergency related to COVID-19, which triggered the Kansas price-gouging statute within the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.
