On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump filed a new lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James as he seeks to halt her attempts to appoint a watchdog to review a revocable trust Trump uses to manage his assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Hill, Trump filed a 41-page lawsuit with Florida\u2019s Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court accusing AG James of embarking on a \u201ccrusade\u201d against him as he seeks to stop the Democrat from imposing restrictions on his business and personal life. In the Florida lawsuit, Trump claims there would be a deprivation of privacy and property rights if James gains control over his personal revocable trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pending the outcome of the lawsuit,\u00a0James asked a court to appoint an independent watchdog<\/a>\u00a0that would review the Trump’s financial procedures and disclosures, including for the movement of any assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week Trump retaliated and filed a lawsuit in a Manhattan court seeking to stop AG James from appointing the monitoring agent, which he says would “nationalize his company” in violation of the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cCrooked 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,\u201d Trump wrote, \u201conly to look for ways to recklessly injure me, my family, my businesses, and my tens of millions of supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf 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,\u201d the former president wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for the Attorney General\u2019s Office said \u201cmultiple judges have dismissed Donald Trump\u2019s baseless attempts to evade justice, and no number of lawsuits will deter us from pursuing this fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe sued Donald Trump because he committed extensive financial fraud,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cThat fact hasn\u2019t changed, and neither will our resolve to ensure that no matter how powerful or political one might be, no one is above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In September, James filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization and three of Trump’s children seeking $250 million for alleged tax fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
