Trump’s attorneys filed a notice Tuesday indicating they are appealing to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Trump filed his sprawling lawsuit in March, naming a wide cast of characters that Trump has accused for years of orchestrating a “deep state” conspiracy against him — including former FBI Director James Comey and other FBI officials, the retired British spy Christopher Steele and his associates, and a handful of Clinton campaign advisers. Special counsel John Durham, for the past three years, has been investigating a lot of the conduct that Trump mentioned in his lawsuit. In fact, Durham hasn’t delivered anything in three-plus years resembling the Watergate-level charges that Trump has repeatedly said are coming. Durham’s only other case, against a Hillary Clinton campaign attorney, ended with an acquittal.
