REUTERS/David 'Dee' Delgado/File PhotoNEW YORK, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's namesake company urged a New York judge to reject a demand by the state's attorney general to appoint a monitor to oversee its financial practices, after she accused it of "staggering" fraud. "What the (attorney general) really seeks is a vague order justifying her assertion of control via a 'monitor' of the business affairs of her political adversary," wrote Alina Habba, a lawyer for the company and Trump. The attorney general has said a monitor would help serve "the substantial public interest in curbing fraudulent and lawful conduct." While the case does not involve criminal charges, James said Trump repeatedly violated several state criminal laws and may have violated federal criminal law. The case is New York v Trump et al, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No.
