Trump’s $1M 'Frivolous' Lawsuit Road Trip Ends at 11th Circuit

KEY POINTS

  • A federal appeals court upheld nearly $1 million in sanctions against Trump and lawyer Alina Habba.
  • The sanctions stem from a 'frivolous' 200-page lawsuit Trump filed against Hillary Clinton and others in 2022.
  • A district judge called the lawsuit 'bad faith' and part of a 'playbook' to harass political enemies.
  • The panel of three judges, appointed by Bush, Trump, and Biden, agreed the sanctions were justified.

In a bipartisan slapfest, Trump's legal dream team—including Alina Habba, who apparently moonlights as an unauthorized New Jersey U.S. attorney—got hit with nearly $1 million in sanctions for flipping the political lawsuit script against Hillary Clinton and friends. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks called their 200-page 'political manifesto' 'frivolous' and 'bad faith,' basically a legal episode of a busted Vegas heist. The conservative 11th Circuit trio—Bush’s William Pryor Jr., Trump’s Andrew Brasher, and Biden’s Embry Kidd—unanimously agreed to slam the gavel. Trump’s legal spokesperson swears it’s 'not over,' because when your playbook reads ‘frivolous,’ apparently the sequel’s inevitable.
