Court Sanctions Habba, Jointly With Trump, $937,989 for Bad-Faith Lawsuit Against Clinton (2023)
Judge Donald Middlebrooks dismissed Trump's 2022 lawsuit against Clinton and dozens of others, then sanctioned his lawyers under Rule 11 for allegations he found knowingly false or reckless, and sanctioned Trump, Habba and her firm under the court's inherent authority, citing shotgun pleadings, knowingly false factual allegations and frivolous legal theories as evidence of bad faith. The Eleventh Circuit held that Trump and his attorneys committed sanctionable conduct and affirmed.
