The Insider reports:
Eric Trump threatened to sue a website for defamation after it suggested that he had used burner phones to communicate with pro-Donald Trump rally organizers in the run-up to January 6.
Trump, the second son of former President Donald Trump, threatened The Palmer Report with legal action after over a claim it made in the aftermath of a Rolling Stone article purporting to describe the events leading to the insurrection on January 6.
While the Rolling Stone article did describe the use of burner phones — throwaway devices used to avoid communications being traced — it said they were used by others to contact figures like Eric and Lara Trump.

By the age of 30, I raised 25 million dollars (at a 9.2% cumulative expense ratio) and built the most state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit & Surgery Center, dedicated to children, on earth. Don’t ever attack philanthropy especially when you have probably done shit in your life. https://t.co/57hFldA78w
