Attorneys for President Donald Trump said in a new filing late Thursday that the state’s lawsuit against his charitable organization should be dismissed, in part, because former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman had a clear political bias against the president.

Alan Futerfas, a Manhattan attorney representing Trump in the matter, said the lawsuit was politically motivated, and that Schneiderman should have recused himself from any probe into Trump or his foundation. The litigation was born from an investigation manifested by Schneiderman, a Clinton supporter, in 2016.
