Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday against the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, seeking to halt her long-running civil investigation into his business practices.
The suit, filed in federal court in upstate New York by the former president and his family real estate business, argues that James’ inquiry, which has lasted more than two years, has violated Trump’s constitutional rights.
A spokesperson for James did not immediately reply to a request for comment. If James were to find evidence of wrongdoing, she could file a lawsuit against Trump, but because it is a civil inquiry, she could not file criminal charges. That investigation is centered on whether Trump defrauded lenders by inflating the value of his assets. James’ office is also assisting in the criminal investigation.
