Trump And Lewandoski In Hot Water Again

“GOP operative sues Trump, Lewandowski for defamation”

Donald Trump’s campaign manager allegedly boasted that the Republican frontrunner’s campaign “could do what they wanted with Fox” and that the cable news channel was on their side, according to a libel lawsuit filed by a Republican strategist.

In the $4m defamation lawsuit filed on Monday in New York City, Republican strategist Cheri Jacobus says that Trump, his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, and the Trump campaign attempted to smear her after she criticized the candidate as a television pundit.

In particular, Jacobus alleges that Trump and his campaign targeted her “with the purpose of making her an object lesson, to those who might question Trump and his fitness for office, to incite a virtual mob against her, to destroy her reputation, and to bully her”.

Yep. I can see them doing that. After yesterday’s warnings from them about potential violence at the GOP convention this sounds like another example of New York moblike values.

Following a February 2 CNN appearance in which Jacobus criticized Trump’s claim that he does not get enough credit for self-funding his campaign, the businessman tweeted “@cherijacobus begged us for a job. We said no and she went hostile. A real dummy!”

On Feb. 5, two days after a lawyer for Jacobus sent Trump and Lewandowski a cease-and-desist letter in response to those comments, and one day after POLITICO reported on the letter, Trump tweeted, “Really dumb @CheriJacobus. Begged my people for a job. Turned her down twice and she went hostile. Major loser, zero credibility!”
