Business Insider: The Democratic Party's lawsuit alleges that the Trump campaign, Russia, & WikiLeaks illegally conspired to hurt Democrats during the election.

The Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit in federal court against President Donald Trump's campaign, the Russian government, and the organization WikiLeaks.
The suit alleges the three defendants illegally conspired to hurt the Democratic Party by engineering the hack of the Democratic National Committee and disseminating stolen materials during the 2016 election.
When the DNC filed a civil suit against former President Richard Nixon's reelection committee in the 1970s, the Nixon campaign ultimately had to shell out $750,000 to settle the case.
Trump's reelection campaign dismissed the Democratic Party's lawsuit as "frivolous" and a "last-ditch effort to substantiate" what it called "baseless" allegations of collusion with Russia.
