This is strange. Trump is running for President and is extremely likely to win in November.
The lawsuit will take a year to get through the courts. During that time, Trump will be President of the U.S..
Can a President of the U.S. sue the Department of Justice that works for him? That same President names the heads of the DOJ, and the U.S. Attorney General works directly for the President.
That is a direct conflict of interest. I just can't see the case moving forward if / when Trump wins.
Was going to say something similar, except more along the lines of the DOJ has investigated itself, found itself not to be in agreement with claims made by the plaintiff, and will be passing judgment based on the same
