Donald Trump filed appellate papers on Wednesday that are his latest effort to stymie a 3-year inquiry into his business by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The papers, filed in US District Court in Albany, came in quick response to a decision by a judge of that court, Brenda K. Sannes, who on Friday dismissed Trump's effort out of hand.
Trump says in his new filing that he will ask the US Court of Appeals, the next federal court up, to reverse Sannes' decision, which tossed his lawsuit after James defended her probe by asserting she has found "substantial" evidence of financial wrongdoing.
Trump and James have been at loggerheads throughout her investigation, which she has said has uncovered a pattern of self-serving misstatements throughout a decade of the former president's annual financial statements.
Trump has used the allegedly error-riddled statements to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in bank loans and tax breaks.
An enforcement action — likely a massive lawsuit against Trump and his business, possibly seeking to shut it down entirely — will be filed in the near future, James has warned.
Still, Trump has fought — and delayed — the inquiry for two years, in great stacks of litigation filed in three New York courthouses.
In addition to this new appellate effort, Trump is appealing a New York state Supreme Court's finding that he is in contempt of court for failing to fully comply with James' subpoena for his business documents and electronics.

“NY AG’s probe into his business practices”
This is like referring to the Salem witch hunts as a “probe into occult practices.”
and it’s so stupid at face value.
Property tax valuations are nearly ALWAYS different than what the true worth.
And if you are a homeowner and doubt that, just pull up your property tax statement and compare that value to recent sales of similar homes in your area.
So when paying tax, you would accept the “usually” lower valuation estimated by the city, and for loans you would typically get an independent appraisal done to confirm that it is actually worth much more.
This is all normal practice for banks, which have the option if they so wish to also have an appraisal done on their own and often do.
Hey, “Tish,” what about the massive fraud that IS TRUE involving Hillary Rodham Clinton? You are a partisan hack and the worst AG New Yorkers have ever had to endure.
