RNC Threatens To Sue Lincoln Project For Defamation

Politico Playbook reports:

Trump campaign manager and RNC chief of staff Chris LaCivita is going after The Lincoln Project in a new letter, with RNC lawyers accusing the anti-Trump PAC of defamation and demanding they retract a series of social media posts.

In a letter to Lincoln Project general counsel Mario Nicolais, LaCivita’s legal team specifically point to several posts of a video entitled “Sucker” that berates Trump.

The Lincoln Project responds: “We’re terribly, terribly sorry to have upset delicate snowflake Chris LaCivita for overstating how rich he actually got off the Trump campaign,” Nicolais said in a statement to Playbook.
