The U.S. Justice Department sued North Carolina over its law restricting the use of public restrooms by transgender people.<br />The lawsuit was filed Monday, hours after Gov. Pat McCrory filed his own lawsuit.<br />McCrory wants the law kept in place, saying his lawsuit asks a federal court to clarify what the law actually says with billions in federal aid at risk.<br />The Justice Department is seeking a court order declaring that the law’s statements that apply to multiple-occupancy bathrooms or changing facilities “discriminate on the basis of sex.”
