A federal judge in Florida has smacked down former president Donald Trump’s request to keep New York State Attorney General Letitia James and her staff from viewing documents related to a trust that holds most of his assets as part of an ongoing fraud lawsuit against him, his family and his eponymous company.
Mr Trump had filed a lawsuit of his own against Ms James in November after Ms James’ staff asked Mr Trump’s team for documents pertaining to a Florida-based trust pursuant to a subpoena served on the ex-president during the investigation and as a result of the lawsuit’s discovery process.
