Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has filed a defamation lawsuit in New Hampshire against President Joe Biden for comments made in a 2020 debate in Nashville.
Giuliani, a close associate of former President Donald Trump, was joined by New Hampshire attorney William O'Brien and New York attorney Louis Diamond in making the announcement.In the lawsuit, Giuliani is accusing Biden of making defamatory and false statements during the debate, including saying that Giuliani was 'being used as a Russian pawn.''What he did to me is intolerable. He called me a Russian operative. That is a lie. That is false,' Giuliani said.
Video below: Giuliani explains why he's filing the lawsuitO'Brien said that because the debate aired on television in New Hampshire, a statute allows him to recover damages in the Granite State.'We have a rule in New Hampshire called the Single Publication Rule, and what that rule means is that when you can establish that a defamation occurred within the jurisdiction, within New Hampshire, the plaintiff can recover for each instance it occurred elsewhere,' O'Brien said.
