From Law and Crime; reporting on the case and Judge Middlebrooks's statement :

" Sanctions against Trump lawyers followed, as Middlebrooks found the amended complaint was a "shotgun pleading" that substituted substance "with length, hyperbole, and the settling of scores and grievances," producing a "frivolous" and "harmful" case. "

The RICO case included 31 defendants.
