Donald Trump takes Hillary Clinton and other Democrats to court

President Trump filed a massive civil lawsuit on Thursday alleging a massive conspiracy to smear his 2016 presidential campaign and administration with accusations of Russian collusion against President Clinton, the Revolutionary National Council (DNC), White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, and more than a dozen others for a massive $24 million.

The Defenders “maliciously colluded to build a false story that their Repub competitor, Donald J. Trump, was conspiring with a hostile foreign nation,” according to a 108-page complaint filed Thursday.

“The methods performed in pursuit of their conspiracy — fabricating evidence, manipulating law enforcement, and gaining access to extremely sensitive data sources — are so obscene, subversive, and incendiary that they pale in comparison to the events of Watergate,” said report.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the former president has incurred at least $24 million in damages, in addition to the loss of current and prospective business as a result of Clinton, the DNC, and others.

Trump claims that Clinton, her 2016 campaign, and many persons linked with it conspired to create a media frenzy and a law enforcement probe into his alleged links with the Russian government. Clinton, the 2016 camp CEO John Podesta, the party’s campaign general counsel Marc Elias, former FBI Director James Comey, and others are among the 28 defendants named in the lawsuit.

Clinton, as well as a number of other defendants, could not be reached for comment right away. Many of Trump’s criticisms have been aired regularly during the 2016 campaign, according to the long lawsuit. In summary, he claims that the multiple probes into the campaign were part of a politically driven witch hunt against him.

The complaint comes as Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of John Durham, the special counsel appointed by Trump to look into the origins of the FBI’s investigation into his 2016 campaign. Since its inception in 2019, Durham’s investigation has resulted in three charges, but there has been scant proof of a massive plot to destabilize Trump.

Back in February, Hillary Clinton responded to allegations that her campaign spied on Donald Trump:
