Trump denounces $250 million civil suit as unfair and politically motivated

Former President Donald Trump has criticized the $250 million civil suit against him, calling it unconstitutional and a tactic to hinder his potential 2024 presidential run. The suit, filed by Attorney General Leticia James, accuses Trump’s company of manipulating asset values for tax avoidance and insurance benefits. Trump argues that New York Executive Law 63 (12) allows a politically elected prosecutor to influence a politically elected judge, potentially biasing the case against him.
