Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, declares that she will not dismiss the civil fraud case against Trump.

Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, stated that she will not dismiss the civil fraud lawsuit against President-elect Donald Trump, asserting that presidents are not exempt from civil legal action.

Last month, Trump and his lawyers urged James to abandon her civil fraud lawsuit against him, his family, and his businesses in the interest of the country's well-being.

A $454 million civil fraud judgment was ordered against Trump in James' lawsuit against him.

Judges on a New York appeals court appeared open to overturning the ruling in favor of Trump.

The New York attorney general's office announced on Tuesday that they will not be taking any action to dismiss the case against the president-elect.

The office of James argued that presidents are not immune to civil litigation resulting from unofficial conduct and lawsuits can proceed while they are in office.

The office of James also stated that the final judgment would not affect any actions Trump could take as president. Additionally, they emphasized that Trump's inauguration was irrelevant to the 14 other defendants who were found guilty in our case.

Trump's office stated that they are currently awaiting a decision on his appeal, and that this waiting period does not impede his ability to perform his presidential duties.
