Letitia James asks the court to dismiss the case of fraud with a mortgage

• Letitia James is asking the court to dismiss the case of fraud with a mortgage.
• She claims that the case is a nuisance from Trump's side.
• The case was initiated due to her criticism of Trump and his business.

The Attorney General of New York Letitia James appealed to the federal court on Friday to dismiss the case of fraud with a mortgage against her, calling it a nuisance that has a political subtext. In her statement, James asserts that this case is a result of personal animosity from President Donald Trump, who considers her to be his enemy.

James's lawyers cited numerous statements from Trump to prove that the case was initiated due to her criticism directed at the president and his business. "This lawsuit and AG James's criticism have been targeted for six years against a specific individual. Trump and his associates have used various misleading terms to discredit James and to close the criminal proceedings against her obligations," the statement reads.

James accuses the defendant of providing false information when obtaining a mortgage on a vacant building in Norfolk, Virginia. She denies these allegations and asserts that Trump's administration uses the judiciary as an instrument of oppression.

James's attorneys also argue that the Department of Justice allocated her for investigation, ignoring similar cases involving other public figures. They believe that the only difference between James and these individuals lies in the fact that she is a Democratic Attorney General who has acted against the president.

James was elected as the Attorney General of New York in 2018 and became the first woman in this position. She became a target for Trump's attacks after she won a case against him, accusing him of fraud before the banks.

Trump has repeatedly sought to dismiss James's investigation, which her attorneys are using to support their arguments in court. They believe that the case should be dismissed due to judicial bias.
