A longtime Republican consultant who has been harshly criticized by Donald J. Trump filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit on Monday accusing him and his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, of making false statements that harmed her professionally and personally.
The consultant, Cheri Jacobus, accused Mr. Trump and Mr. Lewandowski of libeling her by depicting her as a disappointed job-seeker who turned on Mr. Trump after he declined to hire her.
When Ms. Jacobus criticized Mr. Trump on CNN in late January and early February, Mr. Trump branded her on Twitter as a real dummy who had begged my people for a job. Mr. Lewandowski described her in similar terms on television.
But in the legal filing, Ms. Jacobus claims those accusations were false and caused enormous damage to her career and reputation, significant emotional distress and held her up to public ridicule.
The jabs from the Trump camp prompted an onslaught of online abuse, according to the lawsuit and news reports. The attacks by Trumps followers were laced with sexual degradation and pornographic vulgarity, the lawsuit states. It says of Ms. Jacobus, She was depicted in numerous graphic illustrations as an appropriate victim for rape and sexual assault.
Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, said in a statement that the lawsuit had no merit. This is just another frivolous lawsuit and an attempt to gain notoriety at the expense of Donald Trump, she said.
The litigation comes only days after the Trump campaign escaped another embarrassing legal bind, after a Florida prosecutor declined to prosecute Mr. Lewandowski on a charge of battery for after he was accused of manhandling a reporter at a campaign event.

Desperate GOPe Conspires to Take Down Trump
Excerpt: “This diagram shows how the consultant class uses twitter to funnel disinformation to tear down candidates while surreptitiously promoting others. Note below how anti Trump operative Cheri Jacobus attempts to create a false meme, apparently linking an unwitting KKK parody account to the Trump campaign. Then she goes on a low rated internet radio show to spread the lie.”

Now the guy who runs around here proudly displaying a picture of Nathan Bedford Forrest is a legal scholar as well? Amazing how well rounded you are.
Bad news, Donald doesn’t settle
How many other candidates have had this type of lawsuit filed at this time in the campaign?
How many other leading candidates are not bought and paid for career politicians? There is your answer.
Good news, in the case reported by the Boston Globe’s hit piece Monday Trump reportedly settled.
If you read the article, you will see that there is a specific allegation that "Jim Dornan, a Trump aide who has since left the campaign, had sought to recruit Ms. Jacobus." Trump has not denied this allegation.
I suspect the scorned one is "Baby Donald".
How many folks have been labeled as cheaters and run-around hound dogs? I can hear Rush's voice now as he described Democrats time and again, "It's not the truth of the matter but the seriousness of the charge that matters"......
You may be right on that, but it's hard for me to see how Baby Donald's public Tweets were not malicious.
She's got crazy eyes.
Which Cruz bundler is going to pay for it?
His Tweets and speeches are public knowledge. Of course he said them.
As to what other candidates have experienced this, Baby Donald is the only candidate I've ever seen producing such childish behavior. Most candidates have the mental development of at least Junior High School, where such antics are discouraged.
Then why did he recruit her?
You Trum-pets will invent anything to justify Baby Donald's tantrums, won't you?
You can try to make it all about me, you can even try to divert attention from the vulgarian , you can even point out where I am in error but no matter what you do it will be about the candidate.
Try to ignore Driftdiver. In all honesty, it is nothing but a trump-hating, POS deserving no respectful conversation.
Trump is a cheater, thats true.
In contrast to Mr. Trump, most politicians don’t engage in this type public bickering personally. They allow surrogates to speak for them and thus remain above the fray. The potential damage is not the loss of a lawsuit, but the discovery process where Mr. Trump can be questioned extensively under oath.
In contrast to Mr. Trump, most politicians adults dont engage in this type public bickering personally.
I agree with your edit.
They are in panic mode, that’s for sure.
