The suit, filed in a federal court in upstate New York, argues that James’ inquiry, which has gone on for over two years, violated Trump’s constitutional rights, the *New York Times* [reports](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/20/nyregion/trump-lawsuit-letitia-james.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20211220&instance_id=0&nl=breaking-news&ref=headline®i_id=94350836&segment_id=77487&user_id=55d5001e25dc6ee8d94d6ddaf4f5a46f). Trump and his lawyers have long argued that the investigation is politically motivated. “Her mission is guided solely by political animus and a desire to harass, intimidate, and retaliate against a private citizen who she views as a political opponent,” the suit reads. The lawsuit comes less than two weeks after James suggested she would seek to question Trump under oath early next year.
