Trump asks Supreme Court to look at 2016 election lawsuit against Clinton: Report

Donald Trump has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate a 2022 lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and former FBI officials. The lawsuit, which alleges a conspiracy to smear his 2016 campaign with false claims of Russian collusion, was previously dismissed by lower courts because it was filed after the statute of limitations had expired. Trump's legal team is now arguing that the deadlines should have been paused while he was in office to prevent distractions from his presidential duties. Lower courts had not only dismissed the case but also imposed nearly $1 million in sanctions against Trump and his attorney.
