The state of Maine and President Donald Trump came to one small agreement in their large-scale feud over the issue of trans athletes in girls' sports.
In exchange for the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreeing to restore federal funds to Maine that it had frozen, the state dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration over that issue.
The lawsuit was filed April 7 after a federal funding freeze in response to the state's refusal to keep trans athletes out of girls sports.
Federal Judge John Woodcock ordered the Trump administration to restore those funds April 12. Woodcock, a senior judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maine, was appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2003.
