NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and his namesake foundation asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit by New York's attorney general over the nonprofit's activities, including in the 2016 presidential campaign, calling it a politically motivated attack.

In Thursday night court filings, a lawyer for Trump said Attorney General Barbara Underwood's lawsuit was part of her office's mission to "lead the resistance" against the Republican president, attack him where possible and sue rather than settle.
