Former United States of America President, Donald Trump and his attorneys have been fined more than $937,000 in sanctions for suing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over claims the 2016 presidential election was rigged. This was made known by a federal judge on Thursday. US District Judge John Middlebrooks, who dismissed Trump's lawsuit in September 2022, said the sanctions were justified because the former president had a history of misusing the courts to advance his political agenda.
Court Fines Former US President, Donald Trump Nearly $1million For Claiming Hillary Clinton Tried To Rig 2016 Elections"This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed it.
"This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed it. Intended for a political purpose, none of the counts of the amended complaint stated a cognizable legal claim," Middlebrooks wrote in the 45-page written ruling.
Trump filed a lawsuit against Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, alleging that she and other Democrats attempted to rig the election by falsely accusing his campaign of having ties to Russia.
