North Carolina's Top Attorney: Governor Didn't Tell Me He Was Suing Over Bathroom Law

WASHINGTON -- North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) did not tell his state's top attorney he would be suing the U.S. Department of Justice over the state's controversial bathroom law, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Roy Cooper (D) said on Monday.

"Our office wasn't notified or consulted about today's legal action," Noelle Talley, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina Department of Justice, told The Huffington Post. She clarified that the office wasn't notified about the lawsuit either before or after it was filed.
