The Democratic National Committee filed a lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan against the Russian government, the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks, and numerous others close to the president, alleging they were part of a broad attempt to undermine the 2016 US presidential election.
The lawsuit cites the hacking of DNC documents and records by the Russian government during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The Washington Post first reported the news of the suit, says a report on ABC News.
