Attorneys for the former Democratic presidential nominee filed a motion in a federal court on Monday asking the court to impose sanctions on Trump, calling the lawsuit that alleged Clinton and others engaged in a conspiracy to undermine his 2016 campaign with accusations of Russian collusion a “political stunt.”

“A reasonable attorney would never have filed this suit, let alone continued to prosecute it after multiple Defendants’ motions to dismiss highlighted its fundamental and incurable defects,” Clinton’s attorneys wrote, according to The Hill.

The Clinton legal team is asking for $1.06 million from Trump to cover the legal expenses incurred by all the defendants named in his civil suit.
