On Wednesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton requested that a federal judge dismiss a lawsuit brought by former President Donald Trump, alleging that Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and others conspired to spread false information about Trump's campaign's collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.

Last month, Trump filed a 108-page case in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Florida's District Court. Trump said in the case, filed more than five years after he defeated Clinton in the November 2016 election, that he spent more than $24 million defending himself against the allegations and is demanding three times that amount in damages.

Hillary Clinton Says Trump Missed the Deadline To File Lawsuit

The complaint names more than a half-dozen companies and people. Former Clinton foreign policy advisor and current national security adviser Jake Sullivan, the Democratic National Committee, former FBI Director James Comey, and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta are among the defendants in the lawsuit.

The complaint appears to be significantly influenced by indictments filed by special counsel John Durham, who was entrusted by then-Attorney General William P. Barr with examining the FBI's 2016 investigation into Trump's campaign. However, to depict a big Clinton-led plot to derail Trump's campaign, the complaint frequently inflated or misrepresented Durham's charges or other aspects of the case.

Clinton's lawyers said in a motion filed Wednesday that the statute of limitations has long since passed because the majority of Trump's accusations come from 2016 and 2017. They cited a tweet from Trump in October 2017 in which he denounced the "Clinton produced Fake Dossier" and stated, "There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out." GET UP AND DO SOMETHING!, " The Washington Post via MSN reported.

They further stated that there is no factual foundation for a legal claim in the case. The only factually supported claims against Clinton in the long Complaint are the dates on which she launched her candidacy and secured the Democratic presidential nomination, as well as her public pronouncements regarding alleged links between Trump and Russia, according to the legal filing.

Donald Trump said earlier this month that the US Trump's plea that District Judge Donald Middlebrooks disqualify himself from the lawsuit since he was chosen by former President Bill Clinton was refused by Middlebrooks, who stated in his judgment that the request had no legal foundation and that the president's nomination had no influence on his capacity to assess cases impartially, according to The Hill.

Clinton Claims Russiagate Lawsuit Doomed Over Basic Issues

Clinton's petition spends little time dissecting Trump's bizarre and often unintelligible accusations against her, such as trade secret theft and witness tampering. The statement claims that Trump's lawsuit is doomed because of some very basic issues, the most serious of which is that the famously litigious former president and real estate billionaire delayed too long to get to court. 

The statute of limitations for the charges in Trump's lawsuit runs from two to four years, according to Clinton's lawyers, but the many claims about Trump's links to Russia were out in the open in 2017.

Middlebrooks was nominated by Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, and Trump requested him to disqualify himself from the case earlier this month. But the West Palm Beach judge quickly dismissed the request, claiming that he had never met either Clinton.

Middlebrooks also believes that having judges recuse themselves from cases involving political associates of the president who selected them might bring the federal judiciary to a standstill, as per Politico via MSN.
