Former President Trump sued New York Atty. Gen. Letitia James on Monday, resorting to a familiar but seldom successful strategy as he seeks to end a years-long civil investigation into his business practices that he alleges is purely political.
. The case is assigned to Judge Brenda Sannes in Syracuse, who was appointed in 2014 by Trump’s predecessor, President Obama, a Democrat, but preliminary proceedings will be handled by a magistrate judge in Albany, which isn’t unusual for federal court.
Trump has lost multiple lawsuits aimed at foiling investigators, including a multiyear U.S. Supreme Court fight thatJames has spent more than two years investigating whether the Trump Organization misled banks or tax officials about the value of assets — inflating them to gain favorable loan terms or minimizing them to reap tax savings.
Trump’s lawsuit didn’t explicitly mention James’ request for his testimony, aside from a brief reference. But it’s clear he won’t be showing up Jan. 7, James’ requested date, to answer questions voluntarily. As with Eric Trump, James’ office will now likely have to issue a subpoena and go to a judge to order the former president to cooperate.
