January 23, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - Tulsi Gabbard sued Hillary Clinton for defamation on Wednesday, seeking at least $50 million in damages for harming her reputation by suggesting last year that one of the party’s White House contenders was a “Russian asset.”
The lawsuit said Clinton’s comments had damaged the presidential candidacy of Gabbard, a U.S. representative from Hawaii, and were motivated by anger over Gabbard’s endorsement in 2016 of Clinton’s Democratic nominating contest rival, Bernie Sanders.“That’s ridiculous,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said of the lawsuit.“Clinton got exactly what she wanted by lying about Tulsi - she harmed her political and personal rival’s reputation and ongoing presidential campaign, and started a damaging whisper campaign based on baseless, but vicious, untruths,” said the lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York.

Gabbard's allegations zero in on comments Clinton made while appearing on a podcast hosted by former President Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, in October. As she discussed the upcoming 2020 election, Clinton suggested that Republicans were "grooming" a Democratic presidential candidate for a third-party bid.
She also claimed that the candidate had become a favorite of the Russians.
"She's the favorite of the Russians, they have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far, and that's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not, because she's also a Russian asset," Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, said, referencing the 2016 Green Party presidential candidate."Yeah, she's a Russian asset, I mean totally. They know they can't win without a third-party candidate," Clinton added. She did not mention Gabbard's name, though it was widely interpreted to be a reference to the lawmaker.
