The Manhattan federal court lawsuit claims Trump campaign officials conspired with Russian officials and spies to help Trump win the election.
President Donald Trump ‘s campaign Friday blasted as a “sham” a lawsuit by the Democratic National Committee which claims the campaign conspired with Russia and Wikileaks to attack Hillary Clinton and help get Trump elected by releasing hacked computer files.
The campaign called the suit a “frivolous,” “partisan,” and meritless action that represents a “last-ditch effort” by a “nearly-bankrupt Democratic Party” still trying to counter the will of the American public.
The campaign also predicted that the DNC’s suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, will be dismissed “in due time.”
But the campaign also warned that if the lawsuit is allowed to proceed by a judge, the campaign will use the legal discovery process to “explore the DNC’s now-secret records about the actual corruption they perpetrated to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.”
