NEW: Trump’s lawyers, including Alina Habba, get Rule 11-sanctioned by federal judge and must pay $50,000 in sanctions, plus attorney’s fees and costs, due to bringing bad faith litigation in Florida.

The judge: “The pleadings in this case contained factual allegations that were either knowingly false or made in reckless disregard for the truth.”
Damn 🔥
@katiephang
$50k each, or total?
@RomanticSkeptic This order is for just one sanctions motion. There are others pending.
@katiephang
Thank you!
@RomanticSkeptic You’re welcome! I anticipate more sanctions motions being filed and ruled upon with way more attorneys’ fees and costs being awarded.

Use CW for political contents please. It appears to be the norm in this village

@katiephang What decision is this, Katie?
@jentaub @katiephang that’s my question! What was this part of?
@jentaub This was that BS civil lawsuit Trump brought against Hillary Clinton, Peter Strzok, et al. in Florida.
@katiephang @jentaub I speculated on the bird app that he filed that to get his docs back. Kash told Charlie Kirk it was to get to discovery. Plus he tried to get it before MAGA Judge Cannon.
@katiephang
Oh, my…that was quite the spanking. Thanks for sharing
@katiephang is it Christmas already? Cause the news is just filled with bad news for Trump and his acolytes and I feel Santa has come early

@katiephang
Yay for the rule 11 sanctions!
But will there be referrals for other sanctions and further discipline?

“Aspects may be beyond the purview of the judiciary, requiring attention of the Bar and disciplinary authorities. Additional sanctions may be appropriate.”

@katiephang Yes! Time they got reprimanded for their nonsense.

@jentaub @katiephang for the curious, here is a link to Rule 11: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_11

@katiephang if the GOP can bash Trump, the DOJ can indict him.
@katiephang and here I am without a fancy, high falootin’ law degree, and I’m yet to be sanctioned by any court. #legalmastermind
@katiephang I wonder if any of Trumps Lawyer's will learn any life lessons out of thes.
@katiephang make ‘em pay. Then take away their law licenses…
@ChemGuy @katiephang
Here’s what the judge wrote in his conclusion. “Aspects may be beyond the purview of the judiciary, requiring attention of the Bar and disciplinary authorities.”

@katiephang
I love the part at the end where Habba lies (on Hannity I guess) & where she throws herself under the bus for trump. “He said you’re not going to win, don’t do the case” “I said it’s not right!” 🤣🤣🤣
I’m SURE trump (the great legal brain) wanted her to drop a case against someone he felt wronged him 🤣
More likely SHE told HIM there was no chance, it was frivolous and fraudulent and he intimidated her into going through with it.

@katiephang I was really hoping for a sentence of having to wear dunce caps during their next week on Fox ... maybe next time
