Trump sues ny ag trial#
The tax fraud case is the only criminal trial to arise from the Manhattan district attorney's three-year investigation of the former president and is one of three active cases involving Trump or the company in New York courts. The former president's lawsuit against James comes the same week that his company, the Trump Organization, is on trial for criminal tax fraud - on the hook for what prosecutors say was a 15-year scheme by his most trusted lieutenant to avoid paying taxes on those fringe benefits.
Trump and the Trump Organization are defendants in a lawsuit brought by James, who alleges that Trump and the company inflated his net worth by billions of dollars and misled banks and others for years about the value of various assets. We have to stand up for our Country, fight against illegal persecution, and Make America Great Again!" If I were not elected President of the United States, and now leading in the polls by substantial margins against both Democrats and Republicans, this would not be happening. Crooked and highly partisan James now thinks it is the business of the State of New York to go after my revocable trust and pry into my private estate plan, only to look for ways to recklessly injure me, my family, my businesses, and my tens of millions of supporters. While James does nothing to protect New York against these violent crimes and criminals, she attacks great and upstanding businesses which have done nothing wrong, like the very successful, job and tax producing Trump Organization that I have painstakingly built over a long period of years. New York State is one of the most crime-ridden places on earth with murders, robberies, drug deals, and every other form of crime setting records on a weekly basis. The lawsuit was first reported by The New York Times."Today, I filed a lawsuit in Florida State Circuit Court against the corrupt Attorney General of New York State, Letitia "Peekaboo" James. Both Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors claimed in the indictment that Trump’s business has for the past 15 years given tax-free benefits to its highest ranking executives, Weisselberg included. Over the summer, prosecutors charged the Trump Organization, along with Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, with 15 counts of financial crimes, including federal tax fraud, falsifying business records, grand larceny, and scheme conspiracy. In addition to the civil investigation, Trump faces a number of legal troubles, including a criminal investigation run by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. … This political prosecution is illegal, unethical and is a travesty to our great state and legal system,” the Trump Organization said. President Donald Trump on Monday sued New York Attorney General Letitia James, seeking to stop her civil fraud investigation into his company. “The only focus of the New York AG is to investigate Trump, all for her own political ambitions. Trump’s business responded to the request by calling the investigation “another political witch-hunt” in a statement to the Post. 7 in her office, according to The Washington Post, which also reported that a person familiar with the investigation said that James is looking into whether fraud “permeated the Trump Organization.” James has been running a civil investigation into Trump’s business for two years, examining whether Trump inflated the value of his assets to deceive lenders in order to get better rates on loan and insurance while also lowering his tax burden. Recently this month, James said that she was looking to depose Trump, which prompted the former president to accuse her of “prosecutorial misconduct.” James requested Trump sit for a deposition on Jan. The suit, filed on Monday, claims that James has embarked on a “bitter crusade” against the former president and accuses her of having “tirelessly bombarded” them with “unwarranted” subpoenas. Outlining the case, the suit dedicates “multiple pages” to James’ criticism of the Trump administration as well as her past tweets.
“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 said. Former President Donald Trump filed suit on Monday against New York Attorney General Letitia James in an attempt to stop her probe into his business practices, claiming that James is motivated by desire for revenge against him.
