A group backed by billionaire industrialist Charles Koch and Leonard Leo, the man who helped secure the conservative supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court, has sued President Trump in federal court in Florida on behalf of a stationery company, calling his worldwide imposition of tariffs unconstitutional.

The suit marks yet another fissure in the conservative coalition that returned Trump to the White House in January. It is further notable because its principal focus is on obtaining relief for tariffs imposed on communist China.
