Trump Tells Judge He Was Too Busy as President to Sue Clinton Sooner
(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump’s lawyers argued the statute of limitations shouldn’t apply to the lawsuit he filed against political rival Hillary Clinton because the “immense and unrelenting demands” of the job prevented him from doing so sooner.
Most Read from Bloomberg
The former president was simply too busy during his single term in office to discover the details of the alleged plot, which he claims involved a vast effort to falsely accuse him and his 2016 campaign of colluding with Russia and swamp him with costly investigations, his lawyers wrote in a filing Thursday night in federal court in Florida.
Trump “was preoccupied with carrying out his eminently important presidential duties and was therefore impeded from effectively asserting his rights,” his lawyers said.
The suit was filed in March under the civil version of a racketeering law normally used against organized crime. But Clinton argues Trump missed the four-year statute of limitations because all of the alleged conduct was known to him no later than Oct. 29, 2017, when he publicly accused several of the defendants of cooking up a Russia “witch hunt.”
US District Judge Donald Middlebrooks, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, is weighing a joint motion to dismiss the case by Clinton, her 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta and former Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, among others. They raised the statute of limitations as one of the reasons the suit should be thrown out.
The case is scheduled for trial in May.
David Kendall, Clinton’s lawyer with Williams & Connolly LLP in Washington, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

On Don Lemon Tonight Thursday, a portion of CNN Chief National Affairs Analyst Kasie Hunt’s interview with Republican Representative Liz Cheney aired, in which the congresswoman spoke about her and her father’s feelings about the current state of the GOP. Her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, appeared in a campaign video for his daughter’s upcoming primary election, in which he lambasted former President Donald Trump. “In our nation’s 246 year history, there has never been an individual who was a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Dick Cheney said. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He is a coward. A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters.” Cheney expressed the concern that her and her father have about where the Republican Party may be headed. “I talk to him every day about many things, and certainly, you know, his concern — look, like I am right now, he’s really focused on this moment and on what’s happening,” Cheney said. “Both of us have just this real sadness, frankly, about what’s happening to our party, and a real despair about how could it be that so many Republicans would refuse to stand up and tell the truth. And it is a scary moment for the nation.”

The U.S. Federal Reserve should consider more 75 basis-point interest rate hikes at coming meetings in order to bring high inflation back down to the central bank's goal, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said on Saturday. "I supported the FOMC's decision last week to raise the federal funds rate another 75 basis points," Bowman said in prepared remarks to a Kansas Bankers Association event in Colorado, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee that sets monetary policy. "My view is that similarly-sized increases should be on the table until we see inflation declining in a consistent, meaningful, and lasting way."
