Former presidential contender under the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton has attacked former US President Donald Trump for ‘improbably’ tying her to Comey in a Russiagate case.
Clinton
filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit last week, alleging that she was incorrectly
linked to former FBI Director James Comey alleging that the lawsuit filed by
Trump’s legal team is "swollen with eighty pages of irrelevant allegations,"
Washington Examiner cited the filing.
Last month
Trump filed his lawsuit alleging a conspiracy to create a “false narrative”
tying his 2016 campaign to Russia, according to the outlet.
The new motion said the ties between the people being sued are only because they are enemies of Trump.
"All
that links these disparate people and events is Plantiff’s antipathy toward
them," the filing said. "This is a President who doesn't just list
enemies: he sues them."
Clinton had
faced criticism over her role in deleting thousands of official emails as well
as allegations she used her personal email to conduct government business at the
time she was secretary of state under Barack Obama.
Washington
Examiner reported that Clinton is joined by several others as defendants in the
lawsuit, including 2016 Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta, former Democratic
National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Lake Sullivan, who
is currently President Joe Biden’s national security adviser and was Clinton’s
foreign policy adviser during her failed 2016 presidential campaign.
The motion
was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Trump accused Clinton and her associates of falsely claiming the Trump campaign
was connected to Russia.
