Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) has sued Hillary Clinton over an interview last fall in which Clinton called Gabbard a Russian asset.

Gabbards defamation lawsuit, filed in a New York federal court on Wednesday, claims the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee lied about Gabbard with obvious malicious intent to harm the congresswomans 2020 presidential campaign.

Clinton falsely stated that Tulsi an Army National Guard officer and United States Congresswoman who has spent her entire adult life serving this country is a Russian asset. Clintons false assertions were made in a deliberate attempt to derail Tulsis presidential campaign, the complaint says.
