Bit of history re lawsuit.
(I keep forgetting Eric Coomer is also suing Rudy and the Gateway)
“Long-stalled defamation cases against Gateway Pundit could move ahead”
“Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer on May 10 appointed a special master to help resolve protracted disputes over the plaintiffs’ discovery requests. The special master is Peter Dunne, a lawyer and mediator with the St. Louis firm of Pitzer & Snodgrass. He is expected to expedite progress in a case in which the plaintiffs have repeatedly accused Hoft’s side of delay tactics.
The plaintiffs in St. Louis are two Georgia women, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, who worked the polls on election night in 2020 in Atlanta. Beginning In November of 2020, The Gateway Pundit accused them of having processed the same votes for Joe Biden multiple times while election observers weren’t looking. Georgia election officials immediately and publicly refuted the accusation – the two women had in fact done nothing wrong – but The Gateway Pundit continued to accuse them for months in a total of 58 different articles, the suit alleges. Death threats and other harassment followed. In addition to Jim Hoft, the defendants in the case are his identical twin brother, Joe Hoft, who wrote some of the stories, and TGP Communications LLC, the company that does business as The Gateway Pundit, and which Jim Hoft owns in whole.”
