Donald Trump is sued by the Democrats.

The Democratic Party is now suing president Donald Trump's presidential campaign for conspiring against Hillary Clinton during the presidential elections in 2016. Trump has collaborated with Russia and Wikileaks, the Washington Post writes. The suit for several million dollars has been filed in Manhattan and behind it is the Democratic Party. The mood is directed against Donald Trump's presidential campaign and several of Trump's counselors, his son Donald Trump Jr., his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Campaign Manager Paul Manafort, Deputy Campaign Manager Rick Gates and a host of other people.
According to the suit, the conspiracy may have been implemented in part thanks to Donald Trump's personal contacts in Russia. Compensation concerns the Russian hacking of the Democratic Party which the party considers undermined its ability to communicate with voters and raise funds. According to the Washington Post, the party accuses President Trump, Wikileaks and the Russian government and the country's military intelligence service, GRU, for cooperating to undermine confidence in the party's presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"During the presidential campaign in 2016, Russia committed a major attack on our democracy and found a willing and active partner in Donald Trump's campaign,"
said Tom Perez, the party's chairman, in a statement.
For the first time, the dates of the Russian attacks were also recorded, July 27, 2015 and April 18, 2016.
"This represents an unprecedented betrayal campaign for one of the nominees to become the United States president has cooperated with hostile foreign power in order to increase their own chances of winning the presidential election”, said Perez.
Washington Post compares the lawsuit with what the Democrats did against the then President Richard Nixon's Revenue Committee in 1972 in connection with the Watergates scandal. At that time, the Democrats demanded $ 1 million and received $ 750,000 in a settlement reached on the day Richard Nixon resigned.
Friday's lawsuit includes a damages of several million dollars that the Democrats demand in compensation but also a claim that Russia, Wikileaks and Trump Campaign acknowledge that they were conspired to enter the party's computer to steal information and then spread it in order to influence election. The spread was made by Wikileaks who published the stolen epost. The founder's founder Julian Assange is one of those mentioned in the lawsuit.
