In a statement, Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, said: “We will zealously pursue our appeal of the court’s misapplication of the law and the facts.”

The Trump Organization has handed over 6 million pages of records to James’ office, following other lawsuits in court. But prosecutors have requested specific information, including handwritten notes related to declarations of his assets that the businessman who later arrived at the White House would have signed.

The prosecutor’s investigations they began three years ago, when Trump was still in the White House. For months, James has said that Trump and his children “are not above the law,” reaffirming that they must answer for “fraudulent and misleading” actions. In response, Trump sued her in December, seeking to limit or stop the open investigation against him and his businesses, seeking to veto James’ participation in any civil or criminal action against him.

“Instead of continuing to waste your time and taxpayer resources on a long and continuing witch hunt against the Republican Party and me , you should turn your attention to helping resurrect what was once the great state of New York,” wrote the past 10 of December Trump, who systematically disqualifies any legal action against him.
