What case does Trump have now that the FBI seized all the evidence during the ML Raid?
Also, why was the defendant changed from Hillary Clinton, James Comey, etc to the United States Government?
This :
A South Florida federal judge has dismissed ex-FBI Director James Comey and other FBI figures from former President Donald Trump’s ongoing RICO lawsuit aiming to hold a list of political and federal defendants liable for allegedly causing damage to his 2016 election campaign.

U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks of the Southern District of Florida relied on Westfall Act claims made last week by Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI agent Peter Strzok, and two FBI lawyers, Lisa Page and Kevin Clinesmith, when he granted the government’s motion to substitute Friday morning.

The Westfall Act allows the federal government to substitute itself as defendants in civil claims against federal employees when claims are related to defendants’ work as an employee.

James G. Touhey Jr., director of the Torts Branch at the Department of Justice, certified the Westfall Act claims ahead of the substitution filing. Under Middlebrooks’ order the U.S. government will now defend the claims in their stead. But Middlebrooks said Trump may still dispute at trial the validity of actions taken by the current and former FBI personnel.

some listed in the lawsuit were fired, yet the .gov will defend them against Trump’s claims.
