I have been following this lawsuit for a while. This case was a joke.

A federal appeals court upheld a $1 million penalty against President Donald Trump and his former lawyer Alina Habba for filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey and others.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals found that Trump's 2022 lawsuit – which first came in at 108 pages and then 193 pages in an amended complaint – violated federal court rules with tenuous links between a myriad of defendants and legal claims.

"The district court decided that the amended complaint advanced legal theories foreclosed by precedent 'that the most basic legal research would have revealed,'" reads the 36-page decision.....

"Trump leaves all these frivolous claims behind, making a total of 11 of his 16 claims he does not appeal," the court ruled. "Trump and Habba give us no reason to reverse the district court’s ruling that these claims were frivolous."
