President Donald Trump on Friday asked the Supreme Court to revive his 2022 lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and other defendants over claims they sought to link his 2016 campaign to Russia. Lower federal courts had dismissed the case.

Trump’s suit named Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, former Justice Department officials and others. He alleged they conspired to undermine his campaign by making false Russia-related claims; the Washington Examiner reported that his allegations also involved the FBI and former FBI Director James Comey. A federal district court dismissed the lawsuit and held Trump’s attorneys liable for nearly $1 million in sanctions, according to CNN. Trump’s appeal asks the high court to reopen the case.
