Trump withdraws second lawsuit against New York attorney general

Former president Donald Trump on Tuesday withdrew a second lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) related to her office’s fraud probe of his business practices, John Wagner reports.
A stipulation of voluntary dismissal signed by Trump lawyer Alina Habba and a lawyer for James’s office was filed with a federal appeals court in Manhattan. No reason was given for the withdrawal.
Per John:

Trump first filed the lawsuit in federal court in Syracuse, N.Y., claiming James was violating his rights and that of his company by pursuing a politically motivated investigation. After a judge in May found “no evidence” that James had acted with bias, Trump appealed the ruling.
Tuesday’s withdrawal of that appeal was the second time in five days that Trump had abandoned litigation against James, who is pursuing a $250 million lawsuit against Trump. It accuses the former president, three of his grown children and executives at his company of flagrantly manipulating property and other asset valuations to deceive lenders, insurance brokers and tax authorities into giving them better bank-loan and insurance policy rates and to reduce their tax liability.
On Friday, Trump — who has announced his bid for the presidency in 2024 — withdrew a separate lawsuit filed in Florida that had sought to shield scrutiny of his revocable trust from James. A one-page filing in a federal district court provided no reason for that withdrawal, either.
Days earlier, U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks had fined Trump and Habba almost $1 million for what was ruled a frivolous lawsuit brought against his 2016 presidential rival, Hillary Clinton, and others.

I like how Habba said this was a strategic move. That's what happens when you are getting beaten badly. You withdraw. She's following the Putin plan.
