Democratic attorneys general and others are accusing President Donald Trump of intimidating hospitals into dropping gender-affirming care for transgender youth. The claim in a lawsuit comes after a wave of hospital systems said in July that they're ending aspects of the care.

The suspended care has sent families with transgender young people scrambling for care.
