Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday sued New York Attorney General Letitia James, seeking to stop investigation into his company for accounting fraud.
He filed the lawsuit in federal court in Syracuse, New York, after James’ office indicated it would seek to question Trump.
The questioning will centre on whether his company, the Trump Organisation, manipulated the valuations of its real estate properties.
Trump and the company, which is also a plaintiff in the case, claim that James has violated their rights under the U.S. Constitution by pursuing a politically motivated investigation.
“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’s attorney, Alina Habba, said in an emailed statement.
A spokesperson for James’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
