What’s Happening:
Democrats continue to try to slander Trump’s battle for election integrity. Calling what he says the “Big Lie,” they ignore his legitimate concerns over the 2020 Election.
Even as we speak, many states continue investigations that cast doubt on the election results. What might ultimately come out could doom the Democratic Party for good.
But Donald Trump isn’t even close to being finished. While all eyes are on the 2024 Election, Trump is looking back. Plenty of information has come out from John Durham’s investigation into “Russiagate.”
Enough, it seems, for Trump to pounce. Because now he’s launching a lawsuit, not over the 2020 Election, but 2016.
From Reuters:
Donald Trump on Thursday sued his rival in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Hillary Clinton, and several other Democrats, alleging that they tried to rig that election by tying his campaign to Russia…
“Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty,” the former president alleged in a 108-page lawsuit filed in a federal court in Florida.
Boom. Donald Trump is going after Hillary Clinton and other Democrats for what he calls an attempt to rig 2016. He accuses them of “maliciously” trying to push a narrative that he worked with Russia to “steal” the election. That claim has been debunked numerous times, even by Robert Mueller himself. Yet Democrats still maintain that Trump is a Russian puppet.
So, the 45th president is suing these people, saying they committed “racketeering” and a “conspiracy to commit injurious falsehood.” Trump is demanding $24 million dollars in damages. This is no chump-change. Perhaps bigger than the money, would be the image this lawsuit would present to the public, should Trump win.
If he is able to prove in a court of law that Clinton and Democrats tried to rig the 2016 Election, heads will roll. This is just a civil case, but what he’s suggesting could certainly constitute a crime. A federal investigation continues, under John Durham. But this lawsuit could sway public opinion and damage Democrats’ reputation indefinitely.
We’ll be following this closely.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump is suing Clinton and others over the 2016 Election.
- He is accusing them of conspiring to rig the election by framing him.
- The lawsuit is seeking damages upwards of $24 million.
