A federal judge on Friday dismissed Donald Trump's lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, rejecting the former president's claim that she targeted him out of political animus and allowing her civil investigation into his business practices to continue.

In a 43-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes wrote that case law bars federal judges from interfering in state-level investigations, with limited exceptions, and that there wasn't evidence to support the Republican's contention that James, a Democrat, was proceeding in bad faith because of their differing political views.

"The fact that public statements reflect personal and/or political animus toward is not, in and of itself, sufficient," Sannes wrote. Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, questioned Sannes' justification for dismissing the lawsuit -- singling out, by name, the legal precedent at issue -- and said they would take the matter to the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals.

Trump filed the lawsuit just after James issued subpoenas for him and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Jr., to give deposition testimony in James' probe. Trump has long contended that the New York investigations are part of a politically motivated "witch hunt." In the lawsuit, his lawyers alleged that James had violated his constitutional rights in a "thinly-veiled effort to publicly malign Trump and his associates."

Trump and his company never challenged the underlying legal basis for the investigation or the attorney general's office's legal authority to conduct it until her office issued a subpoena for his testimony, James' office said.

Is denial of bail a common thing in the Canadian judicial system or are these folks being singled out for more political reasons? Why a publication ban? If they are allowed to accuse him that should not be allowed.
