Trump demands New York AG Letitia James drop civil fraud case ‘for the greater good of the country’

Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump are pushing back against New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding that she drop the civil fraud case against him, his family, and his businesses. The legal team argues that dismissing the case is essential for the unity and greater good of the country.

In a letter obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital, Trump’s attorney D. John Sauer urged James to completely dismiss the case and vacate the judgment against Trump. Sauer emphasized Trump’s call for an end to partisan strife and highlighted the need for unity in the face of ongoing legal battles.

The letter comes after a series of legal victories for Trump, including the dismissal of cases related to the 2020 election and classified records. Sauer pointed out that the statute of limitations bars claims and liability in James’ case and highlighted the lack of victims, complaints, misstatements, causation, injuries, or losses.

Sauer argued that Trump’s business transactions were conducted transparently, with no deception involved. He emphasized that Trump’s partners benefited from the deals and profited significantly. Sauer also warned of the chilling effect the case has on businesses in New York, pushing them to flee to more favorable states.

Trump’s legal team pointed to his successful track record as a developer in New York, highlighting his contributions to the city’s skyline and economy. They argued that the lawsuit against him serves no public purpose and is detrimental to the state’s business environment.

Sauer referenced President Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1863, calling for unity and healing in a divided nation. He urged James to dismiss the case with prejudice and contribute to the country’s overall well-being.

Despite a previous ruling holding Trump liable for fraud and other charges, his legal team remains steadfast in their defense. Trump has vowed to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary, maintaining his innocence and challenging the judgment against him.

As the legal battle continues, Trump’s legal team is determined to fight for justice and clear his name of any wrongdoing. The push for unity and the greater good of the country remains at the forefront of their efforts to bring the case to a resolution that benefits all parties involved.
