Former President Trump has a near-zero chance of ever winning $100 million in damages from the Department of Justice over the FBI's 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago — even if U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon of Florida ends up weighing a potential lawsuit, legal experts told Salon.
Trump's lawyers filed a notice of claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which allows people to seek damages from federal agencies for governmental wrongs. Fox News first reported on the filing, while CNN provided a link to the claim.
