NEW YORK—One day after a federal judge dismissed the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Russia-collusion lawsuit against his 2016 campaign, President Donald Trump on July 31 pointed to an ongoing inquiry by the Justice Department into the origins of what he called “the greatest political scam in the history of our country.”
Judge John Koeltl, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, on July 30 dismissed all of the DNC’s claims against the Trump campaign and other defendants in the case. The judge also declined a motion to sanction the DNC for maintaining the lawsuit even after special counsel Robert Mueller found insufficient evidence to establish that the campaign colluded with Russia.
