Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against New York state Attorney General Letitia James in an attempt to stop her from investigating his business practices, The New York Times and CNN reported Monday.
The lawsuit, reportedly filed Monday in federal court, claims that James’ investigation violates Trump’s constitutional rights.
“Her mission is guided solely by political animus and a desire to harass, intimidate, and retaliate against a private citizen who she views as a political opponent,” the suit reads, according to the Times’ report.
James’ office did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on the filing.
James has been conducting a civil probe of the Trump Organization, related to Trump’s business dealings prior to his presidency, since 2019. In May she announced that she had opened a separate criminal investigation into his business empire as well.
Trump’s lawsuit is reportedly targeting the civil investigation.
What took him so long.
Hell… she ran on a ‘Get Trump’ platform to get elected. New York sucks ‘ya know.
No standing, your pickin on me is not a defense.
Gee willikers Adam, maybe you should examine the dozens of public statements of political intent by Ms James before you go full Eddie Haskell.
The problem with Marxists like Ms James is that they cannot stop their TDS long enough to exercise legal juriprudence.
Bet your ass he has standing, but given that justice is a one way proposition in this country I doubt it will be served in NY.
No one is above the law or whatcha hidin, it won’t work, he can no longer hide behind a former position.
The leftists are very afraid by this new development judging by their sudden rush to comment here.
Julian Assange could not be reached for comment.
“No one is above the law or whatcha hidin, it won’t work, he can no longer hide behind a former position.”
THIS is why you’re a shit-for-brains.
Apply your statement to Hillary, oBola, Susan Rice, Hunter and BigDaddy Brandon ….
If your statement wasn’t so bullshit wrong, it’d be funny!
Ha ha ha ha loser, little boys goin down^^^^ But you love criminal dirtbags.
It should be noted that the gluttonous and wide James woman is propped up by the mega-jealous George Soros as well as being paid for her additional services against Trump.
