**Fearmongering or Accountability? AGs Challenge Yellen's De-Banking Stance**

A powerful coalition of 20 Republican state attorneys general has taken a bold stand against what they deem the Biden administration's fearmongering tactics regarding anti-de-banking laws.

Led by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, these legal leaders have formally criticized Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for her recent comments which sought to label state laws aimed at protecting clients from financial discrimination as a threat to national security.

In a pointed letter, the AGs argue that Yellen’s approach represents an unwarranted political intervention in financial regulation, aiming to promote a radical agenda that places ideology over accountability.


They contend that the Treasury’s attempts to stigmatize laws like Florida’s HB 989—designed to prevent the arbitrary denial of financial services—serve only to embolden large financial institutions and silence conservative values rooted in fair access and responsible governance.

The AGs assert that the Treasury's claims, particularly those made by Undersecretary Brian Nelson, misrepresent the purpose of these state laws, which are fundamentally aimed at protecting consumers from discrimination rather than facilitating nefarious activities.

"Importing political activism into financial regulation undermines the very principles of fair play and financial accountability that our system is built upon," the letter states.

The AGs worry that such rhetoric not only misleads financial institutions about compliance with national security concerns but also threatens the economic stability and personal freedoms of citizens across the states they represent.

The attorneys general argue that protections against discrimination are a common-sense measure that should not be criminalized or misconstrued as a risk to national security.

As the Biden administration continues to advance its agenda, this coalition stands firm in its commitment to safeguarding the interests of consumers and ensuring that financial institutions adhere to principles of fairness and transparency.

In a time where government overreach becomes increasingly concerning, these Republican AGs express hope for a future where federal regulators focus on their statutory duties instead of using fear tactics to push radical political causes.

The question remains: Will the administration listen to the voices of the states, or will it continue down a path that endangers the freedoms of so many? The outcome of this standoff may shape the financial landscape for years to come.
