Can HRC sue the Trump campaign?

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but can Hillary Clinton sue the Trump campaign regarding the alleged illegal campaign activities of the Trump campaign -- especially if the evidence indicates that these illegal activities swung the election to Trump.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply.

There seems to be ample evidence that the Russians illegally interfered with our election. There also is increasing evidence that the Trump campaign was at least aware of this and at most was directly involved in and benefited from this illegal influence.

It seems that such illegal actions caused harm to Sen. Clinton and to her campaign - harm that would seem to support a civil action.
Civil litigation would also further tie up the Trump administration and presumably open them up to further discovery.

I am not a lawyer, but am curious whether this would be an avenue for Sen. Clinton to seek remedy and cause further problems for Trump Co.

I hold "journalists" at least partially accountable for Trump's election. They missed the biggest story in a generation all in the pursuit of their revenue-generating phony Clinton narratives.
