A federal judge Friday dismissed a lawsuit former President Donald Trump brought against New York Attorney General Letitia James in an attempt to block her investigation into potential financial fraud by the Trump Organization.
On July 25, 2017, President Donald Trump held a joint news conference with the Prime Minister of Lebanon. The photo was taken by Chip Somodevilla.
The lawsuit was filed in December by Trump, who argued that the investigation into his business practices violated his constitutional rights.

The investigation into Trump and his business empire began after Michael Cohen told Congress that the president and his associates misstated the value of assets. The investigation is looking into whether the Trump Organization inflated the value of assets to get loans and then undervaluing them to avoid taxes. The civil investigation could lead to a lawsuit against Trump, but the district attorneys of Manhattan and Westchester County, New York, are leading criminal probes into similar allegations of financial fraud.
