The judges ruled that the president’s arguments “were indeed frivolous.”
A federal appeals court has upheld a penalty of nearly $1 million against President Donald Trump and attorney Alina Habba, concluding they committed “sanctionable conduct” by filing a frivolous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey.
“Many of Trump’s and Habba’s legal arguments were indeed frivolous,” 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge William Pryor Jr. wrote for a unanimous, three-judge panel, including Trump appointee Andrew Brasher and Biden appointee Embry Kidd.
The Atlanta-based appeals court also rejected Trump’s bid to reinstate the 2022 lawsuit targeting Clinton, Comey and others over allegations about ties between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. The lawsuit alleged a broad racketeering conspiracy to conjure up false allegations against his campaign and then instigate investigations like special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
I hate that 1 million dollars is, as you said, pocket change when it comes to billionaires. It doesn’t make sense
Its forgettable pocket change to anyone but trump. He is a petulant child that doesn’t like to be told “no”. An example of this is the civil judgment against him E. Jean Carroll for $5m. He could have paid it as it too was pocket change to him, but he continues to fight it to this day (and he continues to lose).
Remember that guy who sent 13-cent checks to a while bunch of million/billionaires, and only trump and one other guy cashed the checks?
Oh for sure they wouldn’t be billionaires if they were penny pinchers exploting the living fuck outta everything
All financial rulings should be assessed as a percentage of wealth.
Fully agreed
