...dropping lawsuits. Former President Donald Trump has dropped his effort to revive a federal lawsuit challenging a civil investigation in New York into alleged fraudulent asset valuations at his real estate company, Bloomberg reports. On Tuesday, Trump attorney Alina Habba, without explanation, filed a stipulation of voluntary dismissal of the suit.Trump was challenging a $250 million fraud suit against him and his company brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James alleging he manipulated the value of his assets for years. "The filing on Tuesday, which was also signed by a representative of James, comes days after Trump voluntarily dismissed a suit in Florida federal court that sought to rein in an independent monitor that was appointed to oversee some of Trump’s companies during James’s lawsuit," Bloomberg's report stated. "In both cases, Trump claimed the legal action against him was politically motivated." James has also called for Trump along with his children Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump to be barred from purchasing property in the state for five years. "The very foundation of his purported net worth is rooted in incredible fraud and illegality," James said in a statement last year. www.rawstory.com/trumps-fraud-case/

Trump finding out that a courtroom is not Fox News. You can’t just make up whatever you want without any real evidence to back it up.

It must really deflate him. Threatening to sue people was one of his favorite methods of bullying those he figured couldn't outspend him for counsel for many years. Of course, they might have felt differently if they believed, as he seems to, that paying those who do work for you is optional.

Yes, he was judge shopping, too. He filed in FL because he thought he would get lucky and get the one assigned to his documents case. Or someone like her, maybe appointed by him & sympathetic to him.
