Republican party presidential candidate and real estate mogul, Donald Trump, has acquired a reputation for launching lawsuits at his enemies. Just recently, he and his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, have been threatened by a lawsuit by GOP strategist Cheri Jacobus for attacking her professional credibiilty on Twitter.
According to Politico, Trump and Lewandowski accused Jacobus for taking an anti-Trump position because she failed to get a job on his campaign. The letter sent by Jacobus' lawyer warned both gentlemen to cease and desist from making similar statements; it also said that it was Trump's camp who first asked Jacobus to join them, an offer that she declined.
The letter said, "By impugning Ms. Jacobus's status as an objective and serious political commentator, your live-television statements to Morning Joe and follow-up 'Tweets' were per se defamatory because they painted her as petty and biased in a profession permitting neither. Any violation of this cease-and-desist demand will be treated in Court accordingly."
The Right Scoop posted the Tweet that started the friction between both camps. Trump tweeted that Jacobus "begged us for a job. We said no and she went hostile. A real dummy!"
Jacobus tweeted back that Trump was lying. She said the messages she kept from his campaign would prove her right.
Twitchy posts that that was only the beginning. Trump tweeted again that Jacobus was "virtually incompetent" and "had a failed career." Jacobus shot back with multiple tweets that Trump used his clout at Fox News to bar her from work. She also accused Lewondowski of intimidating his staff. She called Trump a "bully" and Lewondowski a "weakling".
Politico asked for a statement from both Trump and Lewondoski. To date, they have not replied.
