It turns out, Donald Trump feels “intimidated and harassed” by New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to a lawsuit filed by the former president against the woman who is prosecuting his company for financial fraud.
In a 41-page filing before the Florida State Circuit Court in Palm Beach, County, Trump sought to shield his Florida state revocable trust from any investigation by the state of New York, arguing that any investigation would violate his right to privacy and violate his rights as a grantor and beneficiary of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.
“Extraordinary wrongdoing requires extraordinary relief. As set forth below, James has repeatedly abused her position as Attorney General for the State of New York to pursue a relentless, pernicious, public, and unapologetic crusade against President Trump, a resident of Palm Beach County, Florida, with the stated goal of destroying him personally, financially, and politically,” the lawsuit claims, according to The New York Times.
“James’ war of intimidation and harassment on President Trump, his family, his business interests, and his associates is longstanding and continuing,” it charges.

Trump went on to accuse the attorney general of ethical misconduct by seeking restitution in her $250 million lawsuit against the Trump Organization.
“In truth, James knows that no restitution is owed but seeks only attention for herself and retribution against President Trump,” Trump lawyer Timothy W. Weber alleged.
