Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen filed suit against the National Association of Attorneys General, alleging the organization misused taxpayer dollars.
The NAAG, an organization based in Washington, D.C., manages a series of legal settlements entered by its current and former members, including Montana. One example of a legal settlement that Montana and other states are a part of is the Volkswagen settlement fund, which was created in 2016, relating to the vehicle emissions scandal. The fund has grown 4.9% since its inception, according to the complaint.
