Tulsi Gabbard Is Suing
Hillary Clinton for Defamation The Hawaii congresswoman's lawsuit
claims she has suffered damages
estimated in excess of $50 million. The suit alleges former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
lied about Gabbard's ties to Russia
during a 2019 podcast interview. Clinton said she felt one
female candidate was being
"groomed" to be a third-party candidate. Clinton would go on to label this person as a "favorite" of the Russians. When later asked if Clinton was referring
to Gabbard, Clinton's spokesman,
Nick Merrill, replied, "If the nesting doll fits." While it's unclear if the lawsuit
stands a chance of succeeding,
the news puts Gabbard
back into the headlines. The Democratic presidential
candidate will likely need as much
publicity as possible ahead of the
Iowa caucuses in February.
