The Daily Beast has asked a court to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager because it is “a transparent attempt to punish The Daily Beast for accurate reporting.”
A number of media outlets have chosen to settle defamation lawsuits with Trump, but the Daily Beast filed the motion to dismiss at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on Monday.
Chis LaCivita’s lawsuit, filed in March, centered on a series of articles published in October and November 2024, which reported that he and his company, Advancing Strategies, received millions of dollars for his work as co-manager of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
