（美国有线电视新闻网）前总统唐纳德特朗普和特朗普组织已起诉纽约总检察长莱蒂娅詹姆斯，要求联邦法院停止或限制她的办公室正在进行的调查。
该诉讼是在詹姆斯办公室寻求罢免特朗普作为其对特朗普组织的民事欺诈调查的一部分之后提出的，该诉讼还试图禁止詹姆斯参与针对前总统或其公司的任何民事或刑事诉讼。
这起诉讼于周一在纽约北部的联邦法院提起，指控詹姆斯行为不端，声称她滥用调查权力来瞄准她的政治对手并推动她的事业发展。
诉讼称：“自上任以来，她不知疲倦地轰炸他、他的家人和他的企业，特朗普组织有限责任公司，在一场激烈的讨伐总统的斗争中，没有根据的传票。”
詹姆斯周一在一份声明中回应了这起诉讼，称特朗普组织一再试图推迟她的办公室对其商业交易的调查，并称该诉讼是“企图进行附带攻击”。
詹姆斯在声明中说：“要明确的是，特朗普先生和特朗普组织都无法决定他们是否以及在何处为自己的行为负责。” “我们的调查不会被吓倒，因为没有人可以凌驾于法律之上，即使是特朗普这个名字的人也不行。”
该诉讼引用了詹姆斯在她 2018 年竞选纽约总检察长时发表的评论，以及她上周对“观点”发表的评论，指责她公开蔑视她在公共场合保持中立的职责。
詹姆斯的办公室正在调查特朗普组织是否操纵了其财产的价值。她的办公室还与曼哈顿地区检察官 Cy Vance 的办公室合作，对特朗普组织进行平行刑事调查。这两项调查是分开的，但詹姆斯办公室的一些律师已被指定从事正在进行的刑事调查。
特朗普的诉讼指控詹姆斯“无情地推动”万斯的办公室对特朗普组织进行刑事调查。万斯办公室发言人拒绝置评。
特朗普的律师要求作出宣告性判决，声明詹姆斯侵犯了特朗普和特朗普组织的权利、特权和豁免权，她的调查构成“不允许的国家行为”和“滥用权力”。
“如果没有司法救济，詹姆斯将继续以违宪的方式侵犯原告的权利，原告将遭受迫在眉睫且无法弥补的伤害，”诉讼称。

Trump sues NY attorney general, seeking to stop investigation into his company
(CNN)Former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization have sued New York Attorney General Letitia James, asking for a federal court to halt or limit her office's ongoing investigations.
The lawsuit, which comes on the heels of James' office seeking to depose Trump as part of its civil fraud investigation into the Trump Organization, also seeks to enjoin James' involvement in any civil or criminal actions against the former President or his company.
The suit, filed in federal court in Northern New York Monday, accuses James of misconduct, claiming she has abused her investigatory powers to target her political adversaries and advance her career.
"Since taking office, she has tirelessly bombarded him, his family and his business, Trump Organization LLC, with unwarranted subpoenas in a bitter crusade to 'take on' the President," the suit states.
James responded to the suit in a statement Monday, saying the Trump Organization has repeatedly attempted to delay her office's investigation into its business dealings and called the suit an "attempted collateral attack."
"To be clear, neither Mr. Trump nor the Trump Organization get to dictate if and where they will answer for their actions," James said in the statement. "Our investigation will continue undeterred because no one is above the law, not even someone with the name Trump."
The suit cites comments James made from her 2018 campaign for New York attorney general through recent comments she made on "The View" last week, accusing her of openly flouting her duty to remain neutral in public.
James' office is investigating whether the Trump Organization manipulated the value of its properties. Her office is also working with Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's office on a parallel criminal investigation into the Trump Organization. The two investigations are separate, but some attorneys from James' office have been designated to work on the criminal investigation, which is ongoing.
Trump's suit accuses James of "relentlessly pushing" Vance's office into a criminal investigation of the Trump Organization. A spokesman for Vance's office declined to comment.
Attorneys for Trump ask for a declaratory judgment stating that James has violated Trump and the Trump Org's rights, privileges and immunities and that her investigations constitute "impermissible state action" and an "abuse of power."
"Absent judicial relief, James will continue to violate Plaintiffs' rights in an unconstitutional manner and Plaintiffs will suffer imminent and irreparable harms," the suit states.
