Hillary Clinton has asked a federal judge to order former President Donald Trump and his attorneys to pay more than $1m in legal fees and costs to cover expenses she and several other defendants accrued defending themselves against a dismissed lawsuit claiming that they conspired to sink Mr Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign by accusing it of colluding with Russia.
According to filing in federal court in Florida, Ms Clinton is seeking to personally recover $176,412. Members of her 2016 presidential campaign, including campaign manager Robby Mook and chairman John Podesta, are also seeking to recover various legal expenses. Mr Trump’s suit also accused the Democratic National Committee and the then-White House national security adviser.
