I believe there’s around a 3 year statute of limitations on libel FROM THE DATE OF THE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE of the alleged acts. If the allegations are FALSE, where’s the lawsuit?
Cruz, legal scholar extraordinaire, could probably dash it off longhand between campaign stops and have a lawyer supporter in NY file it for him. A few alleged psychologists trained in the area have claimed on line that Cruz is lying that the story is “garbage”.
Inasmuch as truth is a positive defense, once Cruz takes that step, all Trump and the owner of the publication need do is to bring forth one or more of the “ladies” under oath in court to swear to the truth of the claims and provide details of and evidence re. the encounters. I seriously doubt said “ladies” would risk perjury charges and jail for Ted (or for Trump and the other defendants for that matter if they tried to buy their perjured testimony).
The situation has become more problematic for Cruz as one of the “ladies” (whose name escapes me at the moment) HAS SCRUBBED HER INTERNET ACCOUNTS OF ALL HER EXCHANGES WITH CRUZ. The BIGGER problem is that many of those exchanges have already been captured by third parties.
If any of this IS true, except for the Christians Cruz has convinced of his righteousness, nobody else much cares about his dalliances. What many MAY care about — as Bill Clinton knows — is Cruz LYING ABOUT and TRYING TO COVER IT UP!
Could be nothing. Then again, could be another case of “...feet of clay”. It’s sure happened before.
Re-read the Enquirer article. There is nothing to sue over. “reports””shocking claims” “Supposed affairs”. They have weasel worded that article to death too. There is no evidence.
You mean like, with a cloth?
