JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has filed 25 lawsuits against President Joe Biden’s administration in the past 20 months.

Schmitt, a Republican, has cited the suits in his U.S. Senate campaign as evidence of his ability to stand up to the Democratic president. His suits have generated mixed results so far.

Schmitt says it is part of his responsibility to try to keep the federal government in check.
