It marks the latest round in a blitz to stop the first of four criminal trials starting next week.
Twice this week, New York appeals courts have rejected other attempts to postpone the case.
The latest filing is a petition against Judge Juan Merchan, challenging his decision not to recuse himself from the case as well as his refusal to hear arguments about presidential immunity, according to ABC News.
The former president is due to appear in new York court on Monday when jury selection will begin in his business fraud trial.
