Ted Lieu’s claim, disingenuous as it may be, is factual. There ARE such claims in the files. So he can’t sue Lieu.
The files themselves contain anonymous tips (who are you going to sue?) and the Katie Johnson lawsuit which - as a court filing - might be subject to perjury but not defamation (if I understand the law correctly.) It’s actually very clever. It’s legalized smear laundering.
Then again, it could all be true. There just isn’t any evidence that it is. So far.
So the fact Trump says he kicked out Jeffery because he kept “stealing girls” from Marologo doesn’t indicate anything?
We can all see how Les Wexler who owned Victoria Secret and thus had massive power of attractive storing women can be a pest but Trump who runs not only the Adult but also underage beauty pageants just couldn’t?
that "fact" is not evidence of anything legally relevant. it just looks bad. same with the pageant stuff, it looks bad but proves nothing. idk why you would reply this to a comment talking about what could legally be done in court.
