California, 16 other states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration over EPA plans to scrap car emissions standards, with Gov. Jerry Brown calling administrator Scott Pruitt, "Outlaw Pruitt."

Brown, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Air Resources Chair Mary Nichols announced the lawsuit at a press conference in Sacramento on Tuesday.
