Adelson sues Jewish Democrats for defamation
Republican donor Sheldon Adelson has sued the National Jewish Democratic Council for defamation due to its refusal to withdraw an accusation that Adelson personally approved of and profited from prostitution.The suit specifically charges that the NJDC “conveyed to the public that Mr. Adelson personally approved of and profited from prostitution” in resorts that he owned. It further accuses the NJDC of seeking “to advance their perceived political interests by assassinating Mr. Adelson’s character, punishing him for exercising his right to make monetary contributions to political causes and candidates of his choice, and demeaning him within the Jewish community.”I hope Adelson wins and puts the NJDC out of business. It's long overdue.
He is seeking $60 million dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.
