Former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on April 20 argued that a lawsuit filed against her and some 30 others by her former rival, ex-President Donald Trump, should be dismissed.
Trump filed the suit in federal court in Florida in March, taking aim at how Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the Trump-Russia dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele.
The parties “maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty,” the suit stated, claiming Clinton and others violated federal statutes, including one against racketeering, while attempting to rig the 2016 election in favor of Clinton.
