Politico reported earlier in the evening that a pro-Kasich super PAC was planning to unload $2.5 million or more to take down Trump, the Republican front-runner, in New Hampshire.
This prompted a dozen-tweet barrage by Trump against Kasich, ripping the PAC's attack as "pathetic" and calling the governor a "dud" over the report, among many other things.
*snip*
The super PAC, New Day for America, published a letter from The Trump Organization's lawyer warning that Trump would promptly seek "legal action" against the committee if its ads lied about Trump.
"It has come to my attention that you plan on producing and disseminating certain radio, television, and newspaper advertisements directly and personally attacking my client," Trump's lawyer, Alan Garten, wrote in the letter, which was also addressed to the Kasich campaign.
"Please be advised that in the event your ads contain any false, misleading, defamatory or otherwise tortious statements or representations concerning Mr. Trump's business or his brand, we will not hesitate to seek immediate legal action," it continued.
The letter concluded: "Please be guided accordingly."
The letter was similar in nature to a September cease-in-desist letter The Trump Organization sent to a conservative group, the Club for Growth, that ran attack ads against Trump in Iowa. Some eyebrows were raised because the letter was sent from Trump's corporation rather than from his campaign.

It also means he’ll be out in a few weeks. That’s been the pattern, they always take a final swipe at the Don.
The problem with our side is that we have so many people with thick skin, that they get weighed down by it and become sitting targets.
Warn them off from pulling a stunt and they will think twice before doing it. Threaten to come after them in a way that will hurt their bottom line, and not to just score a political point, and they will know that this is not a game anymore.
I just think it’s sad that people who don’t like one candidate to another would lower Some candidates standards to get their points across...
I think that’s why they try to slam us Trump supporters because are held to a higher standard than Cruz supporters or any of the other supporters...
And as always:
GO TRUMP GO!!!
True Dat. Imagine our reaction if the article was about Hillary "unleashing a raging 12-tweet barrage" and "threatening a lawsuit" against a political rival's ads ....

Only the eyebrows of those who have no clue.
Really?
Trump can’t take a critical ad in a political campaign, he has to threaten to sue???
What a baby!
You want Trump to kick you? ;)
No, vile works in this case...
“You cannot allow any lies to stand.”
Except there can’t be any lies, because there haven’t even been any ads yet. Trump is just playing the lawyer card preemptively to try and bully other candidates so they won’t go after him.
GO TRUMP GO!!!
Free speech anyone?
...
It’s not free speech to devalue someone’s assets with lies.
You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater either.
I want Cruz to win. Period.
Thanks, I knew that would be the response. :)
Not true.
He's warning others not to go after him with lies.
Great, and some of us on here want Trump to win, So welcome to campaigning....
GO TRUMP GO!!!
Are you serious?
A tweet here.....a potential lawsuit there... From Trump
Vs
Hillary........enough said
No kidding. So y'all should stop whining.
This article isn’t about Cruz. Apparently some of you have TDS and just can’t wait to say something negative about Trump. As I said to others, Cruz is a classy guy. You could learn alot from him.
Having lived through 7 years of our current thin-skinned POTUS everyone should.
