TFG pushes back against New York attorney general's contempt effort

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An attorney for Donald Trump hit back Tuesday at an effort by New York Attorney General Letitia James to have the former president held in contempt, claiming he doesn't have documents demanded by James.

James' office asked a state judge on April 7 to issue an order of contempt against Trump, saying he failed to comply with a previous ruling requiring him to turn over documents by March 31 as part of an investigation into his company's financial practices.

Trump attorney Alina Habba said in a filing late Tuesday night that Trump's team attempted to comply with the subpoena, but determined he was not in possession of any of the documents sought by the attorney general. Habba wrote that she informed the attorney general's office that Trump's eponymous company may have the documents being sought, which include personal statements of financial condition, tax audit materials and insurance-related documents.

"While this result may be to the (Attorney General's) dissatisfaction, the fact is that a diligent search was performed and found that (Trump) is not in possession of any of the requested documents," Habba wrote.

6. "AG's disatisfaction" - are personal attacks allowed in court filings?

7. If you would examine court filings that would not remotely be considered a personal attack.

But the short answer to your question is yes, personal attacks are allowed and occur all the time between attorneys.

8. I take it that changing "personal attack" to "snide snark" would still result in a "yes." Thanks.
