NY AG Stands Firm on $500M Fraud Case Against Trump

TL;DR Summary
The New York Attorney General's Office has rejected Donald Trump's request to drop a $480 million civil fraud case, arguing that it does not impede his presidential duties. Trump's lawyer claimed the case's continuation harms national unity and his ability to govern, but the AG's office dismissed these arguments, stating that civil litigation does not violate constitutional duties. The case, which accuses Trump of inflating his assets, is currently on appeal after a judge ordered him to pay significant fines.
