  "account": "President Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to review his dismissed 2016 election lawsuit against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The Republican president claims that Clinton, along with former FBI Director James Comey and others, conspired to rig the election by linking his campaign to Russia. Trump's request comes after a federal judge dismissed the case and imposed nearly $1 million in sanctions against Trump and his lawyer for bringing a \"frivolous\" suit. The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld the dismissal and sanctions against Trump. Trump's lawyers argue that the lower courts' decisions set a concerning precedent, punishing the president for exercising his legal rights. The lawsuit, filed in 2022 when Trump was no longer president, accused Clinton, Comey, Steele, the Democratic National Committee, and others of attempting to discredit Trump with a false narrative of Russian collusion. While US government officials have accused Russia of interfering in the 2016 election, an investigation led by former FBI chief Robert Mueller found extensive contacts between Trump's campaign and Russian operatives. Trump has repeatedly denied these allegations.",
  "summary": "Oct 9 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court on Friday to revive his dismissed lawsuit against his 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton accusing her of conspiring along with former FBI Director James Comey and others to rig that year's election by linking his campaign to Russia.",
