RNC, Trump campaign boss threaten lawsuit against Daily Beast
Fox News
The RNC and ex-Trump co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita are alleging they were defamed by The Daily Beast in a report about payments from the campaign.
Axios first reported that the RNC and LaCivita had readied a defamation suit against the Daily Beast and noted lawyers have written three letters, which have been obtained by Fox News Digital, demanding retractions of the article over the past few months.

The Daily Beast stands by its reporting, although it added an editor’s note to the initial story admitting the article "mistakenly reported that LaCivita’s firm had received a total of $22 million" when the total was actually $19.2 million.
