President Donald Trump has signaled that “he will ask the US Supreme Court to revive his failed lawsuit accusing Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and others of conspiring to tarnish his 2016 campaign with bogus claims of collusion with Russia,” according to Bloomberg. “In a Supreme Court filing made public Tuesday, the president requested an additional month, until Sept. 9, to seek review of a November appeals court decision that upheld dismissal of the case and affirmed almost $1 million in sanctions against Trump and one of his lawyers.” “The 3-0 ruling by [the] 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals faulted Trump and lawyer Alina Habba for filing a ‘frivolous’ lawsuit against his 2016 rival. Two of the judges on the panel were appointed by Republican presidents, including one by Trump.” In his recent filing with the Supreme Court, the president “indicated his appeal would focus on the appeals court’s conclusion that he waited too long to sue.”
