'Arguments were indeed frivolous': Appeals court savages and dashes Trump's RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, upholds full dismissal and nearly $1 million penalty
A federal appellate court on Wednesday handed President Donald Trump a collection of losses in his yearslong effort to resuscitate a failed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton " and several others " based on claims the 2016 presidential election was rigged against him.
In a 36-page opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld the dismissal of the lawsuit as to every named defendant and also upheld a nearly $1 million penalty in attorneys fees assessed against the 45th and 47th president and his attorney Alina Habba.
"Many of Trump's and Habba's legal arguments were indeed frivolous," the three-judge panel opined.
