Feds plan to take over Texas lawsuit against Planned Parenthood

texastribune.org↗ DOJ plans to take over Texas’ Planned Parenthood lawsuitAs the state attorney general’s office transitions from Republican to Democratic hands, the Justice Department moves to intervene in the state’s legal battle over Medicaid payments.

The U.S. Justice Department told a federal court it will intervene in Texas's lawsuit against Planned Parenthood over Medicaid payments. The notice came days after Democrat Nathan Johnson was elected state attorney general.

  • Texas joined the suit in 2022 over $10 million in Medicaid payments and seeks more than $1.8 billion in reimbursement, penalties and fees.
  • Both sides have proposed an April 2027 trial start before U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk.
  • Johnson said he is reviewing the action closely and will take appropriate action when he takes office.

"The Trump administration has spent two years trying to shut down Planned Parenthood through legislative, administrative, and legal attacks" (Susan Baker Manning, a senior vice president for Planned Parenthood Federation of America)
