(CNN) A federal judge dismissed former President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the New York attorney general that sought to stop her civil investigation into the Trump Organization. Judge Brenda Sannes said Trump could have raised the same claims in state court. Trump sued last year alleging New York Attorney General Letitia James violated his constitutional rights by investigating him in bad faith. Trump based his argument on statements James made during her campaign for attorney general. Sannes added that to allow the lawsuit to proceed would interfere with ongoing state court actions, including New York Judge Arthur Engoron's order holding Trump in civil contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena for documents.
