Trump spent $250K of campaign funds losing Christopher Steele lawsuit: report
This lawsuit was filed 6 years after discovery. It was stupid filing this lawsuit so long after the statute of limitations has expired.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have spent $250,000 of donor money while losing a lawsuit against Christopher Steele in London.
On Thursday, a high court dismissed Trump's request for damages after Steele's firm compiled a dossier about Trump during the 2016 election. Among other things, the dossier accused Trump of participating in sex parties and hiring prostitutes in Russia.
The court said Trump "has no reasonable grounds for bringing a claim for compensation or damages, and no real prospect of successfully obtaining such a remedy" because it was made outside the six-year "limitations" period.
MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin gathered Wednesday's financial filings from Trump's Save America leadership PAC. The document indicated Trump had spent hundreds of thousands on legal fees in the U.K. The firm Level Law is on record representing Trump in the London case.
