New York attorney general: No backing down on Trump lawsuit

Lawyers for President Donald Trump have asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought against his charitable foundation by New York's attorney general, arguing that it was politically motivated.

In the motion yesterday, Trump attorney Alan S Futerfas argued that former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman "made it his stated mission to 'lead the resistance' and attack Mr Trump whenever possible" and "used his public antipathy for Mr Trump to solicit donations for his own re-election campaign and advance his career interests and aspirations."
The filing said Underwood continued the "inflammatory rhetoric, stating publicly that she considers her battles with the President 'the most important work (she) has ever done' and has vowed that such 'work will continue.'"
In a statement, the attorney general's office said it won't back down from "holding Trump and his associates accountable for their flagrant violations of New York law."
