Hillary Clinton Moves to Cut Donald Trump off at the Pass in Legal Fight

While Hillary for America moves to undercut John Durham’s criminal investigation of the Trump-Russia hoax, there’s another legal action taking place on the civil side of things.
As RedState previously reported, Donald Trump recently filed a lawsuit against everyone and their mother over the “unthinkable plot” to bring down his campaign and his eventual presidency by spreading false conspiracy theories about Russian collusion. Defendants in the suit include Hillary Clinton, the DNC, Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, and Marc Elias, among many others. All of those people and entities appear to be in the sights of Durham as well.
Now, Clinton is moving to cut Trump off at the pass, with her attorneys filing a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed. In it, they accuse the former president of using the court as a fundraising gimmick.
Clinton’s attorneys said Trump’s $24 million lawsuit that claims an “unthinkable plot” to “cripple” his bid for the presidency and paint his campaign as colluding with Russia had no legal basis, according to a motion filed in US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
“Whatever the utility of Plaintiff’s Complaint as a fundraising tool, a press release, or a list of political grievances, it has no merit as a lawsuit and should be dismissed with prejudice,” the 22-page court filing said.
