Trump Offers $1 Million Bond In Bid To Appeal Sanctions For Filing 'Frivolous' Conspiracy Suit

It is no question that Donald Trump is the most litigious president in the history, filing a more frivolous lawsuits than just about anyone I could think of.

Factoids:

Trump once sued an author for a libel because he didn't state that trump was a billionaire and he wrote that he was a millionaire. Naturally, he got laughed out of court.

Trump sued Bill Maher because Bill Maher accused Trump in jest that he was the lovechild of a woman and an orangutan (given the orange cast in the photo). This was the episode that started the whole Orange Man Bad meme.
But it wasn't defamation he sued Bill Maher for, it was some other crazy thing-- you'll have to Google it to find out. But of course he lost because it was comedy and the tip off should have been that Bill Maher is a comedian. However, even if you didn't know that about Bill Maher, the bit about the orangutan should have been a clue. But clues do not work for the clueless.

Trump is the textbook example of the vexatious litigant.

Donald Trump is offering to post a $1 million bond as part of his effort to appeal sanctions imposed last month on him and one of his attorneys for filing a “frivolous” conspiracy suit against his old rival Hillary Clinton and others.

On Friday, Trump and lawyer Alina Habba sent a letter to U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks. They offered to post a $1.03 million bond in order to appeal the order sanctioning the pair $937,989, for filing a conspiracy suit against Clinton and others, Bloomberg reported.


Middlebrooks last month blasted the lawsuit as completely without legal merit, and said it amounted to nothing more than a partisan political manifesto that wasted taxpayer money and time for legitimate court actions.

He accused the former president of a “pattern of abuse of the courts” for filing a number of such suits for political purposes, which Middlebrooks said “undermines the rule of law” and “amounts to obstruction of justice.”

He added: “We are confronted with a lawsuit that should never have been filed, which was completely frivolous, both factually and legally, and which was brought in bad faith for an improper purpose.”
