Donald Trump Sues New York Attorney General Letitia James In An Effort To Halt Her Civil Investigation Into His Business Practices
On Monday, former President Donald Trump sued New York Attorney General Letitia James Monday, seeking to halt her office’s investigation into his company.
In the suit filed on behalf of Trump, claims the attorney general’s two-year-long financial fraud probe is politically motivated and in violation of Trump’s rights.
While speaking the CBS News, Trump called the investigation “unconstitutional” in a phone call. “We are such an aggrieved and innocent party. It is a disgrace,” adding “This is like Russia, Russia, Russia, which turned out to be a hoax,” Trump said.
James has responded to the suit in a statement Monday, saying the Trump Organization has repeatedly attempted to delay her office’s investigation into his business dealings. She called the suit an “attempted collateral attack.”
She added,
“To be clear, neither Mr. Trump nor the Trump Organization get to dictate if and where they will answer for their actions,” James said in the statement. “Our investigation will continue undeterred because no one is above the law, not even someone with the name Trump.”
