HILLARY CLINTON/LAWSUIT: “A federal judge on Thursday [January 19, 2023] ordered former President Donald Trump and his attorney, Alina Habba, to jointly pay nearly $1 million in sanctions.
The pair were fined for filing a ‘frivolous’ lawsuit against former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as 30 other perceived political enemies.
In a scathing 46-page order, US District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks wrote that Trump and his lawyer attempted to ‘dishonestly’ advance a political narrative with the lawsuit, adding that no ‘reasonable lawyer’ would have filed it.
Middlebrooks went on to accuse Trump and Habba of filing the lawsuit in bad faith, for an ‘improper purpose,’ and, ultimately, abusing the legal system for political purposes.”
