（本文可能包含反映作者观点的评论）唐纳德-川普总统对希拉里-克林顿和其他民主党人提起了诉讼。
据路透社报道，他起诉他们，声称他们试图通过将他的竞选活动与俄罗斯联系起来来操纵2016年的总统选举。
"美国第45任总统在佛罗里达州联邦法院提起的诉讼中称："被告人一致行动，恶意串通，编织虚假的谎言，说他们的共和党对手唐纳德-J-川普与一个敌对的外国主权国家勾结。
这只是增加了克林顿最近与2016年总统选举有关的艰难消息。
司法部将在本周拿出与 "通俄门 "案件有关的 "大量 "机密材料和文件，该案件涉及前英国间谍克里斯托弗-斯蒂尔试图破坏当时共和党总统提名人唐纳德-川普的候选资格和随后的总统职位的主要来源。
这是特别律师约翰-达勒姆的说法，他在周二的一份文件中披露了这一消息，他还要求联邦法官延长提供机密证据的最后期限，以遵守《机密信息程序法》，该法概述了刑事案件中必须保护机密文件的方式。
达勒姆说，由于机构人员目前正在参与与俄罗斯正在进行的乌克兰战争有关的问题，他需要更多时间。
"到目前为止，政府已经在非保密的发现中提供了超过6万份文件。这些文件中的一部分最初被标记为'机密'，政府已经与适当的解密机构合作，以非机密的形式提供这些文件，"杜伦在提交给弗吉尼亚东区联邦法院的文件中说。
"然而，最近在乌克兰发生的世界性事件导致了机密发现的生产延迟。联邦调查局和情报机构准备和审查这些文件的官员正忙于处理与乌克兰有关的事务，"达勒姆补充说。
"尽管如此，政府将在本周制作大量的机密发现，并将继续努力在滚动的基础上制作机密发现中的文件，并且不迟于下面提出的最后期限，"达勒姆写道。
此案围绕着伊戈尔-丹琴科（Igor Danchenko）展开，他是一名驻美国的俄罗斯研究员，11月被指控在2017年就他在2016年大选期间为斯蒂尔提供的不光彩的档案资料向联邦调查局做出了五项虚假陈述。
丹琴科不认罪，他在12月签署了一份弃权书，同意由代表希拉里-克林顿2016年总统竞选团队成员的同一家律师事务所进行辩护，尽管达勒姆提出了利益冲突的问题。
斯蒂尔在针对当时的候选人唐纳德-川普之前、期间和之后为与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔-普京有联系的寡头奥列格-德里帕斯卡工作。这位前军情六处特工受雇于一家反对派研究公司Fusion GPS，把他的反川普档案放在一起，该公司同时为与克里姆林宫有联系的律师纳塔利娅-韦塞尔尼茨卡娅(Natalia Veselnitskaya)工作，该会议现已成为臭名昭著的2016年6月川普大厦会议。他的研究得到了克林顿竞选团队和民主党全国委员会的资助。
据称，丹琴科依靠一个俄罗斯联系人网络，在接受联邦调查局的采访时破坏了川普与俄罗斯勾结的关键说法，并且以前曾因潜在的俄罗斯情报联系而被调查为对国家安全的可能威胁。
根据杜伦的虚假陈述指控，他匿名将有关川普竞选经理保罗-马纳福特的说法提供给克林顿的长期盟友查克-多兰，后者花了很多年，包括2016年，为俄罗斯企业和俄罗斯政府做工作。
在2019年12月发布的一份报告中，司法部监察长迈克尔-霍洛维茨得出结论，斯蒂尔档案在联邦调查局决定对2016年川普竞选团队发起反间谍行动中发挥了 "核心和重要 "作用。
这包括努力获得针对前川普竞选团队成员卡特-佩奇的窃听令--这些努力最终获得了成功，但只是在 "严重的失误和错误 "之后，包括向外国情报监视法庭隐瞒 "潜在的无罪信息"，《华盛顿考察家》报道。
Donald Trump Sues Hillary Clinton, Others Over Russian Collusion
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and other Democrats.
He is suing them, claiming that they attempted to rig the 2016 presidential election by tying his campaign to Russia, Reuters reported.
“Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty,” the 45th President of the United States alleged in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Florida.
It just adds to the tough news that Clinton has had recently related to the 2016 presidential election.
The Department of Justice is set to produce a “large volume” of classified materials and documents this week pertaining to the ‘Russiagate’ case involving the main source for former British spy Christopher Steele’s dossier that attempted to sabotage then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s candidacy and subsequent presidency.
That’s according to special counsel John Durham, who made the revelation in a Tuesday filing in which he also asked a federal judge to extend a deadline for the production of classified discovery, in compliance with the Classified Information Procedures Act, a statute outlining the manner in which classified documents must be protected in criminal cases.
Durham said he needs more time due to agency personnel currently being involved in issues that relate to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.
“To date, the government has produced over 60,000 documents in unclassified discovery. A portion of these documents were originally marked ‘classified’ and the government has worked with the appropriate declassification authorities to produce the documents in an unclassified format,” Durham said in the filing submitted to the federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia.
“However, recent world events in Ukraine have contributed to delays in the production of classified discovery. The officials preparing and reviewing the documents at the FBI and intelligence agencies are heavily engaged in matters related to Ukraine,” Durham added.
“Nevertheless, the government will produce a large volume of classified discovery this week and will continue its efforts to produce documents in classified discovery on a rolling basis, and no later than the proposed deadlines set forth below,” Durham wrote.
The Washington Examiner adds:
The case revolves around Igor Danchenko, a Russian researcher based in the United States, who was charged in November with five counts of making false statements to the FBI in 2017 about the information he provided to Steele for his discredited dossier during the 2016 election.
Danchenko, who has pleaded not guilty, signed a waiver in December agreeing to be defended by the same law firm representing members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign despite a conflict of interest concerns raised by Durham.
Steele was working for Oleg Deripaska, an oligarch linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, before, during, and after his time targeting then-candidate Donald Trump. The former MI6 agent was hired to put his anti-Trump dossier together by an opposition research firm, Fusion GPS, which was simultaneously working for Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya of the now-infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. His research received funding from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Danchenko allegedly relied on a network of Russian contacts, undermined key Trump-Russia collusion claims when interviewed by the FBI, and had previously been investigated as a possible threat to national security due to potential Russian intelligence contacts.
According to Durham’s false statements charges, he anonymously sourced a claim about Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort to longtime Clinton ally Chuck Dolan, who spent many years, including 2016, doing work for Russian businesses and the Russian government.
In a report released in December 2019, Justice Dept. Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that the Steele dossier played a “central and essential” role in the FBI’s decision to launch a counterintelligence operation against the 2016 Trump campaign.
That included efforts to obtain wiretap orders against former Trump campaign associate Carter Page — efforts that were ultimately successful, but only after “serious missteps and errors” which included concealing “potentially exculpatory information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court,” the Washington Examiner reported.
