– The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group run by former campaign consultants to George W. Bush and John McCain, has been running a series of ads in Times Square linking Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to the 225,000 people who’ve died from the coronavirus this year. Now the couple’s lawyer is threatening to sue the group for “what will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages,” Reuters reports. “These billboard ads are false, malicious, and defamatory,” Marc Kasowitz writes in a letter to the Lincoln Project, calling the ads “outrageous and shameful libel.” “If these billboard ads are not immediately removed, we will sue you for what will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages,” Kasowitz continues. The Lincoln Project responded with a tweet reading, “Nuts!,” adding, “While we truly enjoy living rent free in their heads, their empty threats will not be taken any more seriously than we take Jared and Ivanka.”
