The lawsuit filed in a federal court in upstate New York claims that Letitia James, a Democrat, is violating Donald Trump's constitutional rights with a politically motivated investigation.
Former president Donald Trump sued New York's attorney general on Monday in an attempt to stop her years-long civil probe into his business dealings, a court filing showed.
The lawsuit filed in a federal court in upstate New York claims that Letitia James, a Democrat, is violating Trump's constitutional rights with a politically motivated investigation.
"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," it said.
James is probing whether the Trump Organization may have illegally reported false values on its properties, potentially to gain banking and tax advantages.
