A federal judge did not throw out former President Donald Trump’s lawyer’s defamation case against former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Weissmann.
Weissmann alleged that Stefan Passantino, an attorney who served in the White House under Trump, coached former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson to lie in front of Congress.
“Hunt also is Cassidy Hutchinson’s good lawyer. (Not the one who coached her to lie) And he is the guy who took notes of Trump saying, when Mueller was appointed, quoting him as saying ‘I’m f….d,’” Weissmann wrote in a post on X last year.
Passantino said in the lawsuit that Weissmann’s tweet was a “lie and a “smear,” according to Law and Crime.
