Court upholds $1 million fine for Donald Trump

A federal appeals court has upheld a $937,989 fine assessed by a district court for filing a “frivolous lawsuit.” Trump’s suit accused former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey and others of racketeering, due to their conspiracy to frame him as colluding with Russia. This fine is roughly nine times the amount assessed against Kevin Clinesmith for forging information to spy on the Trump campaign or against the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee for involvement in the collusion accusation. No other conspirators have been fined, and none have been imprisoned.
