DNC sues Russia, Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, alleging conspiracyBY AVERY ANAPOL - 04/20/18 11:10 AM EDT/THE HILL
The Democratic National Committee is suing the Russian government, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, alleging that the three entities conspired to help President Trump win the 2016 election.
The Washington Post reported Friday that the DNC filed the multi-million dollar lawsuit in federal district court in Manhattan.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russia launched an all-out assault on our democracy, and it found a willing and active partner in Donald Trumps campaign, DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a statement.
This constituted an act of unprecedented treachery: the campaign of a nominee for President of the United States in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the presidency."
The suit comes months after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups in his investigation on charges related to interference in the election.

I hope they will eventually get a judgment that will leave the Trumps penniless.
