Democrats Want Trump Administration to Help Them Sue Russia

The Democratic National Committee is seeking a court order that would essentially force President Donald Trump’s administration to aid the group’s lawsuit accusing Russia of interfering in the 2016 election.
Enlisting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo through a provision of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act "is the only means available to the plaintiff" to formally serve Russia with the complaint, the DNC said Friday in a filing in federal court in Manhattan. Russia generally refuses to accept U.S. legal complaints in the mail, according to the filing.
