Breaking: Democratic Presidential Candidate sues Hillary for $50 million for defamation
She’s in it to win it, but Hillary Clinton, 2016’s last Democratic nominee, is not really “with her.”
In fact, shes claiming that the 2020 Democrat Presidential hopeful is a Russian agent working for Putin. Must be Hillary’s go to insult.
Either way, Tulsi Gabbard isn’t taking this lightly.
Although she has almost 0% chance of winning the Presidency, she may be able to win this lawsuit, but experts aren’t convinced.
Gabbard is a public figure. Slander and Liable are much harder to prove for public officials.
Apparently the beef goes back to 2016.
According to the lawsuit:
“Clinton was extremely angry—to put it mildly—that Tulsi endorsed Senator Sanders over her,” the lawsuit says, citing communications Gabbard claims she received from Clinton’s representatives saying that her team “no longer trust[s] [Tulsi’s] judgment.” Gabbard also alleges that she was told “that the Clinton team would never forget this slight.”
The complaint states that “agents” for Clinton let Gabbard know they would not assist Gabbard in her campaigns.
