Donald Trump on Monday appealed a judge's order that would have seen him fined nearly $1 million for filing a 'completely frivolous' lawsuit against former 2016 rival Hillary Clinton.

Both the former president and his lawyer, Alina Habba, were slapped with the hefty fee last month.

Trump sued Clinton and other top Democrats in March last year, accusing them of having 'maliciously conspired' to rig the 2016 election with claims that he was working with Russia to get elected.

Federal Judge John Middlebrooks, who was appointed by Clinton's husband, excoriated the legal effort - and Trump himself - in a 46-page opinion explaining the steep fines.

'Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries,' Middlebrooks wrote.
