Four voters urge the NC Supreme Court to allow a defamation case to proceed against lawyers who worked to boost Gov. Pat McCrory's campaign after the 2016 election.
Four NC voters have urged the state’s highest court to allow them to continue pursuing a defamation case against lawyers who worked for a defense fund backing the candidacy of former Gov. Pat McCrory after the 2016 election. The group targeted for the lawsuit was not connected to McCrory’s official campaign committee.
Defendants associated with former Gov. Pat McCrory’s 2016 re-election campaign urged the N.C. Supreme Court Monday to throw out a defamation lawsuit from McCrory critics. The N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law also called on the Supreme Court to reject the suit.
