Donald Trump filed a lawsuit in Florida on Thursday, accusing Hillary Clinton and the Democrats of trying to tie his campaign to Russia.
The legal complaint accuses Clinton and other defendants of conspiring to fabricate evidence to implicate him.
Clinton's spokesman Nick Merrill dismissed the lawsuit in a statement to Insider.
He has previously made claims about the probe into Trump and his campaign.
It says that the report showed that Donald Trump and his campaign did not collude with Russia.
The Russian government interfered with the 2016 US election in order to damage Clinton and help Trump, according to the findings of the investigation. The framework of conspiracy law was evaluated by investigators in his final report.
There was not enough evidence to charge anyone on the Trump campaign with conspiring with Moscow. They noted that the campaign expected it to benefit from Russia's efforts.
The Senate Intelligence Committee determined in 2020 that members of the Trump campaign had connections to Russians.
For instance, the committee concluded that Paul Manafort, who served as the campaign's chairman for five months in 2016, was agrave counterintelligence threat who had high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated.
Before joining the Trump campaign, he worked as a consultant for pro-Russian interests.
Senate investigators uncovered information that raised the possibility of a connection between the hack-and-leak operations and the 2016 US election, in which Russian hackers stole the DNC's server, stole emails, and disseminated them.
The Senate's report identified a former Russian intelligence operative as someone who may be connected to the effort to influence the 2016 election.
Emails that have been publicly released show that Donald Jr. welcomed this effort.
Trump Jr. was offered high level and sensitive information about the Clinton campaign in June 2016 that he was told was part of Russia and its government's support for Trump. If it is what you say, I love it, especially later in the summer, said Trump Jr.
The Trump family was working on a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the presidential campaign, according to Michael Cohen.
Cohen, Manafort, and four others associated with Trump and his campaign pleaded guilty or were convicted of crimes in connection to the Russia investigation. All of them were pardoned or had their sentences commuted before Trump left office.
The lawsuit comes as he and his allies false allegation that a recent court filing from the special counsel John Durham proves that the Clinton campaign spied on Trump.
It mischaracterizes several details from the Durham filing, saying that the defendants "resorted to truly subversive measures", including hacking server at Trump Tower, Trump's private apartment, and the White House.
Durham said in a subsequent filing that members of the media may have misinterpreted the previous filing, as Insider has reported.
