(New York, NY) — Former President Donald Trump is suing New York’s attorney general, trying to block her civil probe into his real estate holdings. Letitia James is exploring whether the Trump Organization manipulated the value of its properties to obtain favorable insurance and loan rates and lower its tax obligations. James was quick to respond to Trump’s lawsuit, saying her investigation will continue undeterred because “no one is above the law, not even someone with the name Trump.” The Manhattan District Attorney is conducting a criminal probe into the same issues. Trump has called both investigations “a witch hunt.”
