The lawsuit alleges that Clinton and the Democratic National Committee made up a link between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“Under the guise of ‘opposition research,’ ‘data analytics,’ and other political stratagems, the Defendants nefariously sought to sway the public’s trust.”
TRUMP’S LAWSUIT
Trump says the claims triggered an “unfounded federal investigation” and a “media frenzy.”
A federal investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties with Russia found several associates lied about their political efforts.
It also found that the campaign sought to capitalise on Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
The Trump lawsuit says the plan was to create and leak a series of false reports about connections between the Trump campaign and Russia to both the FBI and the media.
The lawsuit details when those reports were proved false, the Clinton campaign hacked Trump Tower and the White House to manipulate data.
Trump and members of his immediate family were recently ordered to answer questions in a New York investigation into their business practices.
