Tulsi Gabbard’s Lawyers Accuse Hillary Clinton Of Defamation For Russia Remarks

Lawyers for presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) are accusing Hillary Clinton of defamation for her assertion that “somebody who’s currently in the Democratic primary” is being groomed “to be the third-party candidate” and is “the favorite of the Russians.”

Gabbard’s lawyers, in a letter obtained by Politico’s Daniel Strauss, demanded that Clinton immediately retract comments she made last month to a podcast, calling the statements false and praising Gabbard as “a patriotic loyal American.”
