President Trump Files Petition with Supreme Court to Revive RICO Lawsuit Against Crooked Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and Russia Hoax Cabal After Nearly $1 Million in “Frivolous” Sanctions

President Donald Trump is refusing to let the Deep State get away with the biggest political crime in American history!
President Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court to revive his dismissed lawsuit against his 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, accusing her, along with disgraced former FBI Director James Comey and numerous Democratic operatives, of conspiring to undermine his 2016 presidential campaign by falsely linking him to Russia.
Trump filed the petition on Friday, after Justice Clarence Thomas granted an extension of the deadline.
The move comes after a federal judge threw out the case and imposed nearly $1 million in sanctions against Trump and one of his lawyers for bringing what the courts labeled a “frivolous” suit. A U.S. appeals court subsequently upheld both the dismissal and the sanctions.
As The Gateway Pundit reported when the landmark RICO action was first filed in March 2022 in federal court in Miami, Trump named Clinton, Comey, the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, and a host of other co-conspirators in a sprawling racketeering scheme.
The complaint detailed how the Clinton campaign and its allies funded the Steele dossier, riddled with lies and uncorroborated claims, to smear Trump, abused FISA warrants to spy on his campaign, and launched the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that dogged his first term.
Trump sought treble damages exceeding $24 million for the legal fees, business losses, and political damage caused by the hoax.
Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks dismissed the case in September 2022, calling the lengthy complaint a “two-hundred-page political manifesto.” Middlebrooks declined to recuse himself.
He later imposed sanctions totaling roughly $938,000 on Trump and his then-attorney Alina Habba, accusing them of abusive litigation tactics, knowingly false allegations, and filing in bad faith to advance a political narrative rather than a legitimate claim.
Chief Judge William Pryor, writing for a panel that included Trump appointee Andrew Brasher, declared that “many of Trump’s and Habba’s legal arguments were indeed frivolous.”
The court rejected Trump’s argument that the statute of limitations should have been tolled because he postponed the lawsuit while serving as President to focus on his constitutional duties.
As The Gateway Pundit reported in May 2026, the full 11th Circuit then denied rehearing en banc, leaving the sanctions in place.
In the petition now before the high court, Trump’s lawyers argue that Supreme Court review is needed “to protect the presidency” and to stop “a deeply troubling trend of federal courts using sanctions and disciplinary threats to punish the president and his lawyers for legitimate legal positions that those courts (erroneously) reject.”
They contend the time limit for filing should have been extended because Trump deliberately waited until after his first term, concluding that any private civil lawsuit would consume substantial time and energy while he carried out his responsibilities as chief executive, the Washington Examiner reported.
The Russia collusion narrative has long been exposed as a fabrication. Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of conspiracy or collusion.
Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation documented the FBI’s reliance on the uncorroborated, Clinton-funded Steele dossier and the failure to investigate intelligence indicating the Clinton campaign planned to tie Trump to Russia as a distraction from her private email server scandal.
Declassified documents and Inspector General reports have repeatedly confirmed the political origins of the hoax and the abuses that followed.
Lower courts have protected the Clinton machine and the Deep State operatives who orchestrated the greatest political hoax in American history while punishing the victim of their scheme with nearly $1 million in sanctions.
The Supreme Court now has the opportunity to reverse this lawfare and allow the full truth about the 2016 election interference plot to be litigated.

President Trump holds midterm rally in Syracuse, New York – October 9, 2026
President Trump will deliver remarks this afternoon in Clarksville, Tennessee, as he continues his October rally blitz before the midterms.
Tonight, Trump is rallying at the F&M Bank Arena for Senator Bill Hagerty, who is running for reelection, and Senator Marsha Blackburn, who is running for governor.
Massive lines of supporters formed hours ago in the rain to see President Trump.
WATCH:
Trump said in a statement on Friday that he was canceling his appearance at the Georgia vs. Alabama college football game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, due to Hurricane Isaias in the Gulf of America but that he would still go to Tennessee to hold the rally.
Marsha Blackburn, he said, “will go down as one of the most impactful Governors in the State’s History.”
Full statement below:
Based on the fact that a huge Hurricane/Storm is coming, it is important to have our wonderful First Responders, Law Enforcement, and others, focused on that Storm, and in no way be thinking about the safety, or presence, of the President of the United States, ME! Therefore, I will miss that potentially unbelievable Game, Alabama vs. Georgia but, hopefully, the Game will go on despite the weather!
I will be visiting both of those Teams at a later date. Instead, I will go to Tennessee, where we have quickly called a Big Rally in order to get our fantastic Congressional Candidates, our Great Senator, Bill Hagerty, and a woman who will go down as one of the most impactful Governors in the State’s History, Marsha Blackburn, elected! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump told reporters while departing the White House earlier, “We’re gonna get a couple of great congressmen elected, etc, and we have a wonderful Senator that we’re gonna get elected; Bill is gonna be great.”
He further said he will have some “very big meetings,” adding, “things are going very well. Our economy, literally, we’ve never had anything like it; it’s so good. In terms of factories, plants, everything else being built, we’ve never had anything like it.”
Nine People Killed in Shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania – Details to Come – Shooter Among Dead
October 10, 2026
Nine people, including two children, were killed in a shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Friday night.
Police confirmed that the shooter is dead.
Erie police’s SWAT team surrounded the residence after receiving reports of the shooting.
The identities of the victims have not been released. A motive for the mass shooting is unclear.
Pennsylvania’s soft-on-crime Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro released a statement on the deadly shooting.
“I’ve spoken with Mayor Devlin and offered my Administration’s full support following the tragic mass shooting in Erie last night — killing nine of our fellow Pennsylvanians,” Shapiro said.
“My heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community,” he said.

My heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community.
Nine people, including at least two children, are dead following a shooting near E. 7th and Perry streets in the City of Erie Friday night, investigators confirmed Saturday.
The suspected shooter was among those found dead inside a home at 722 Perry St. Police said there is no ongoing threat to the public.
The City of Erie said Saturday that all nine deaths occurred before officers arrived at the scene, clarifying earlier reports surrounding the timeline of the incident.
Police responded within minutes after receiving a ShotSpotter alert. Officers initially had limited information about what had happened, including whether the suspected shooter remained inside the home or continued to pose a threat.
Two women were found dead outside the residence. Investigators later discovered additional victims inside the home, including children.
Erie police and the department’s SWAT team surrounded the residence as officers worked to determine what had happened and sought a search warrant.
WATCH: Trump GOES OFF on Zelensky After Ukrainian Attack on Russian Diesel Hub – “He Better Damn Well Stop… Time for Ukraine to Get a New President!”
October 10, 2026
President Trump speaks to reporters at the White House
President Trump erupted with rage after Ukraine attacked a Russian oil hub, right after Trump’s deal with Putin to supply diesel to the United States, calling on Ukraine to “get a new President.”
Overnight, Ukraine launched an attack on the Russian oil export terminal and set it ablaze, just hours after Trump announced a diesel agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Gateway Pundit reported. Millions of tons of ewly un-sanctioned Russian diesel would have flowed to the US through the export hub.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had attacked the deal on Friday, saying, “It looks like a happy birthday present for Putin. It looks absolutely terrible.”
When asked about criticism of the deal on Saturday, Trump went off on Zelensky, slamming him for refusing to settle the war and for hitting Russian oil refineries, as well as blaming him for high US diesel prices.
“Zelensky could have settled this war many times, many, many times, and he chooses not to — very difficult. It’s a war that should have never been started. If I were president, if the election weren’t rigged, I would have been president, and that war would have never started,” Trump said.
“But he could have settled it many times, and he chose not to. We said you can do whatever you want to Russia; don’t hit the refineries because that’s a world problem that’s caused, and he wants to make problems for the world. He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers, with diesel fuel, because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world.”
“We told him, do whatever you want, but don’t hit the diesel fuel because there’s a big problem, a big shortage. And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He can do whatever he wants, but you can’t do that because we have a world problem, and the problem is caused by the lack of refineries for diesel fuel. So what does he do? He goes and hits refineries,” Trump added.
“he better damn well stop!”
When a reporter mentioned the “suffering” in Ukraine, Trump went off again, saying, “Well, I agree with you, and you know what I suggest?”
“I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal because he could have made many deals, and for some reason, he never does. And let me go a step further. If I were president, you wouldn’t have ever had that war,” Trump added.
“You’ve lost 30 percent of your country, and you’ve had over a million people killed. Between the two of them, over 2 million people killed. That’s a war that should have never started. And I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president.”
WATCH:
Trump previously responded to Zelensky on Friday, before their latest attack, with a softer tone, shrugging off his comments.
“We need oil for the world, and this is diesel, which is what we need. So, we’re very happy to get it,” Trump told reporters. “Look, we need it. Oil prices are already dropping like a rock, so we’re very happy to get it. ”
WATCH:
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday, Trump announced an agreement to import diesel fuel from Russia after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter,” Trump said, assuring Americans that diesel prices “will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!”
Pope Leo XIV Declares Death Penalty “Inadmissible” as Trump Administration Prepares to Execute Fort Hood Jihadist

At a time when lawlessness is rampaging across Western nations and violent repeat offenders are routinely set free by far-left activist prosecutors, the leadership at the Vatican is doubling down on their soft-on-crime narrative.
The first American-born pontiff, Pope Leo XIV (formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago), took to his official X account on Saturday to reaffirm the modern Catholic Church’s absolute opposition to capital punishment.
“The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty.”

Leo’s post did not name Hasan or the United States, but it followed statements from Cardinal Pietro Parolin (Vatican Secretary of State) and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops President Archbishop Paul Coakley condemning the planned public/livestreamed execution as “unacceptable,” “incomprehensible,” and a “barbaric promotion of a culture of death.” Vatican News explicitly linked the Pope’s message to the Fort Hood case and the World Day Against the Death Penalty.
The timing could not be more pointed. Just days earlier, the Trump administration and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth finalized plans for the U.S. Army firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the radical Islamist Army psychiatrist who, on November 5, 2009, walked into a Fort Hood Soldier Readiness Processing Center shouting “Allahu Akbar,” murdered 13 American soldiers (including a pregnant service member), and wounded 32 more.
As The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported, President Trump approved the death sentence, Hegseth recommended the firing squad method, and the execution is set for December 3, 2026, at 1 p.m. Central Time at Fort Hood itself, the same time of day as the original attack.
The Pentagon has confirmed the execution will be livestreamed so the public can witness the consequences of such an atrocity.
In a September 14, 1952, address to the First International Congress on the Histopathology of the Nervous System, Pope Pius XII defended the state’s authority to execute a convicted criminal under certain circumstances.
Pius XII explained that, in such cases, public authorities could deprive a condemned offender of life as punishment for a crime.
Traditional Catholic teaching and Scripture (including Old Testament capital offenses and Romans 13’s affirmation of the state’s sword) have long recognized that the death penalty can be legitimate.
The revised teaching argues that even individuals responsible for serious crimes retain their inherent human dignity and that modern detention facilities can protect society without execution.
The Vatican has defended this revision as a development consistent with earlier Catholic doctrine, rather than a repudiation of it.
