President Trump, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and the Trump Foundation are seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by New York state Attorney General Barbara Underwood accusing the company of "self-dealing."
The Trumps entered a court filing Thursday claiming the lawsuit was politically motivated and contains factual and legal errors, according to Reuters.
Relief is sought based on the NYAGs appearance of partiality; its overwhelming conflict of interest; and its resulting unwillingness to resolve this matter without litigation, Alan Futerfas, the foundations lawyer, wrote.
Amy Spitalnick, a spokeswoman for Underwood, responded, saying, As our lawsuit detailed, the Trump Foundation functioned as a personal piggy bank to serve Trumps business and political interests. We wont back down from holding President Trump and his associates accountable for their flagrant violations of New York law.
