Trump appeals Clinton lawsuit over Russia ‘hoax’ to Supreme Court
President Donald Trump has called on the Supreme Court to reconsider a 2022 lawsuit in which he accused Hillary Clinton of conspiring with the FBI and other entities to sabotage his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump alleges that Clinton coordinated with then-FBI Director James Comey and the Democratic National Committee to create false claims of his collusion with Russia to influence the election. A Florida federal judge dismissed the lawsuit last year, supporting the “Russia hoax” narrative and ordering Trump’s team to pay nearly $1 million in sanctions.
