Trump Sues NY Attorney General Letitia James

Turn about is fair play even if Democrats don’t like it. Letitia James is obvious in her ambition that Trump spotted a mile away. James is insisting Trump misstated his real estate values to obtain funds and reduce his tax responsibilities. Trump has put that effort in black and white as he sees it and is attempting to keep her from delving into his business dealings. Trump filed a lawsuit against her to block.

James is following up

Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, claimed Trump misstated his real estate assets in testimony before Congress so she’s checking on it. The Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. has a criminal process going as well.

James wanted to question Trump under oath on January 7. She’s thinking he’s committed tax fraud and is determined to find it. Ronald Fischetti is representing Trump’s New York proceedings. He told CNBC they planned to file a motion to dismiss that deposition shortly after Christmas.

James and Vance are continuing

With what Trump has called another witch hunt. James insists, “The Trump Organization has continually sought to delay our investigation into its business dealings and now Donald Trump and his namesake company have filed a lawsuit as an attempted collateral attack on that investigation. To be clear, neither Mr. Trump nor the Trump Organization get to dictate if and where they will answer for their actions. Our investigation will continue undeterred because no one is above the law, not even someone with the name Trump.”

Trump’s suit contends her suit violates his constitutional rights and has asked the judge to either block her probe or limit it. Government can do things to discourage behavior, among them what Trump alleges. 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.” This makes Trump look bad with James “tirelessly bombarding” him.

James vowed this

Among the 30 pages in the complaint is James’ tweets. In her tweets she vowed to “shin[e] a bright light into every dark corner of [Trump’s] real estate holdings” when she was elected in 2018.

Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba took exception to that. “Letitia James targets President Trump with a callous disregard for the ethical and moral obligations she swore to abide by when she became Attorney General. She has short changed the state by commencing this partisan investigation and has forever tarnished the sanctity of her office. By filing this lawsuit, we intend to not only hold her accountable for her blatant constitutional violations, but to stop her bitter crusade to punish her political opponent in its tracks.”

Trump himself unabashedly responded.  He lit into her for what looks like to him that James is going after people to score political points. “Tell Letitia that she is not dealing with the Cuomo brothers, a corrupt Governor in a corrupt state, including your office and others, and Fredo, who did the Governor’s dirty work for him. Despite many years of investigation that nobody else could have survived even if they did things just slightly wrong, yours is just a continuation of the political Witch Hunt that has gone on against me by the Radical Left Democrats for years. This is not about delay, this is about our Constitution! You are nothing but a corrupt official doing the dirty work of your party. You should not be in office.”
