  • April, 2016: Cheri Jacobus filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and Corey Lewandowski, alleging they had defamed her on television after she had made public comments critical of Trump. “A longtime Republican consultant who has been harshly criticized by Donald J. Trump filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit on Monday accusing him and his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, of making false statements that harmed her professionally and personally.The consultant, Cheri Jacobus, accused Mr. Trump and Mr. Lewandowski of libeling her by depicting her as a disappointed job-seeker who turned on Mr. Trump after he declined to hire her. When Ms. Jacobus criticized Mr. Trump on CNN in late January and early February, Mr. Trump branded her on Twitter as ‘a real dummy’ who had ‘begged my people for a job.’ Mr. Lewandowski described her in similar terms on television. [...] The lawsuit seeks at least $4 million in damages from Mr. Trump, Mr. Lewandowski and the Trump presidential campaign.” (New York Times, April 19, 2016)
  • Jacobus’ lawsuit detailed a deluge of online harassment and threats of sexual assault after Trump and Lewandowski targeted her for criticism. “The jabs from the Trump camp prompted an onslaught of online abuse, according to the lawsuit and news reports. ‘The attacks by Trump's followers were laced with sexual degradation and pornographic vulgarity,’ the lawsuit states. It says of Ms. Jacobus, ‘She was depicted in numerous graphic illustrations as an appropriate victim for rape and sexual assault.’” (New York Times, April 19, 2016)
