Former President Donald Trump filed a sprawling federal lawsuit (LINK TO LAWSUIT) on Thursday against Hillary Clinton and people allegedly involved with opposition research in 2016, accusing them of conspiring to vilify the then-Republican presidential candidate and cripple his campaign, CNN and Reuters broke
The lawsuit alleges that Clinton and the Democratic National Committee fabricated a link between the Trump campaign and Russia, triggering an “unfounded federal investigation” and a “media frenzy.”
“Under the guise of ‘opposition research,’ ‘data analytics,’ and other political stratagems, the Defendants nefariously sought to sway the public’s trust,” the lawsuit says. “They worked together with a single, self-serving purpose: to vilify Donald J. Trump.”
