A Fox News contributor suggests that former President Donald Trump may have grounds to sue the New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly violating his civil rights.

Political analyst and frequent guest on the conservative news channel Deroy Murdock made the statement in response to a New York appeals court decision to delay the payment of Trump’s $454 million civil fraud penalty resulting from James’ lawsuit. Instead, the former president was directed to pay a $175 million bond within ten days while he pursued an appeal with the court.

In February, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump had been submitting false financial reports for several years by exaggerating the value of his properties and other assets to receive favorable loan terms from lenders. However, as of Monday, James’ office was unable to begin the process of confiscating Trump’s properties because of a delay in the payment of a financial guarantee.

Murdock repeated his recommendations from an American Spectator article that Trump should sue James for remarks she made in 2018 when she was a candidate for New York state attorney general, Newsweek noted.

He said that James openly declared that she was going to go after the Trump administration because it was “too male, too pale, and too stale.”

“Now, you could talk about stale ideas, that’s fine, but too male and too pale, that constitutes, basically, sex and race discrimination. So I think what President Trump ought to do is sue her on the basis of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,” Murdock told Fox News on Tuesday.

“Her office gets federal money for various subsidies for law enforcement activity. So federal money is flowing into her office and if she is engaged in that kind of sexual and racial discrimination and that kind of language, I think she’s wide open to exposure on the 1964 Civil Rights Act,” Murdock said.

“Donald J. Trump should sue Letitia James on the basis of Civil Rights,” Murdock added.
