Donald Trump Files Florida Lawsuit Against Letitia James In Retaliation

Florida-litigation-lawyer

The Trump Organization has filed a lawsuit in the Florida State Circuit Court against New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleging that James’ investigation into the Trump Organization is politically motivated and designed to financially and personally ruin the former President. 

The lawsuit suggests that when James was elected in 2018, she came into her position with the desire to publicly malign and financially destroy the then-President and alleges that her actions are the result of a racist witch hunt. Specifically, the suit says James has willfully conducted a “relentless, pernicious, public and unapologetic crusade” against the former President and the Trump Organization.  

The 41-page action names the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, suggesting that because James sought information about the trust during her investigation, it requires protection from James due to its containment of Donald Trump’s last will, estate plan, and other instructions on how his assets are to be distributed following his death. 

The suit states, “These are private matters to President Trump, and under Florida law, the revelation of a settlor’s revocable trust while the settlor is still alive threatens the settlor’s right to privacy guaranteed by Article I, Section 23 of the Florida Constitution and the common law.” 

In response, a spokesperson for the Office of the New York Attorney General stated that “no number of lawsuits [against them] will deter” the $250 million civil suit filed by James against the Trump Organization in New York. 

“We sued Donald Trump because he committed extensive financial fraud. That fact hasn’t changed, and neither will our resolve to ensure that no matter how powerful or political one might be, no one is above the law,” the spokesperson noted.
