During an hour-long podcast with David Plouffe last October, 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claimed that Tulsi Gabbard, a United States Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate, was a third-party “favourite” of Moscow.
Lawyers of 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard filed a defamation lawsuit this Wednesday against failed 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for “deliberately and maliciously” making false statements to derail Gabbard’s presidential campaign by alleging that the latter is a “Russian asset.”
The incident emerged in October, after Hilary Clinton claimed during a David Plouffe’s podcast that “somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary … [is a] favourite of the Russians… Yeah, she’s a Russian asset.”
Following the podcast, US media republished the words, which were widely interpreted as if Clinton were speaking about Gabbard.
In mid-November, Gabbard’s lawyers sent letters to Clinton’s representatives demanding that the 2016 presidential nominee retract the allegations.
