Trump and his attorney were ordered to pay $171,631 to Hillary Clinton in legal fees.
Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks punished the two for filing a "completely frivolous" lawsuit.
Former President Donald Trump and his attorney, Alina Habba, have been ordered to pay Hillary Clinton $171,631 in legal fees for pursuing a bogus lawsuit against her and others.
In a filing on Thursday, Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks ordered the pair to pay Clinton and ten other groups a total of nearly $1 million in legal fees over a "completely frivolous" lawsuit against Clinton and a long list of Trump's political foes.
The lawsuit alleged there was a conspiracy to spread lies and damaging information about Trump in 2016 in an effort to aid Clinton in the presidential race.
Intended for a political purpose, none of the counts of the amended complaint stated a cognizable legal claim.".
Hours after Middlebrooks' filing became public, Trump withdrew a lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James that also happened to be before Middlebrooks. »
