Attorneys for Chris LaCivita, campaign manager for Donald Trump, have filed a defamation claim against The Lincoln Project, alleging that various posts made by the political activist group have harmed his reputation in the lead-up to the 2024 election. Meanwhile, prominent criminal defense lawyer Abbe Lowell has requested a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by two IRS agents. The agents accuse Lowell of falsely suggesting they illegally disclosed grand jury material and taxpayer information while he was defending Hunter Biden against tax charges. Lowell's legal team argues that criminal investigations usually take place out of the public eye, and they contend that the lawsuit lacks merit.
