Coverage depicts him 'as deceptively pocketing campaign money for his own personal gain'

Chris LaCivita, a senior political adviser for President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, filed a lawsuit against the Daily Beast Monday for allegedly publishing "malicious" reporting about him with "reckless disregard for the truth."

LaCivita's lawsuit revolves around an October 2024 article by investigative reporter Michael Isikoff, which alleged that the senior adviser made $22 million off of the Trump campaign, Axios reported. The Daily Beast refused LaCivita's requests to retract the story, instead adding an editor's note stating that he had made $19.2 million from the Trump campaign and clarifying that his firm received the alleged money.

"Editor's Note: The original version of this article mistakenly reported that LaCivita's firm had received a total of $22 million from Trump's campaign and affiliated PACs. Based on a further review of FEC records, the correct total is $19.2 million. The Beast regrets the error. The article has also been updated to make clear that payments were to LaCivita's LLC not to LaCivita personally," the Beast's editor's note currently reads.

The lawsuit states that the story, titled "Trump In Cash Crisis—As Campaign Chief's LLC's $19.2m Pay Revealed," caused LaCivita to "suffer special damages," including damage to his reputation, Axios reported.

"Defendant's false statements created the false impression that Mr. LaCivita was charging exorbitant rates for his services and personally enriching himself at the expense of the campaign, thereby harming his reputation as an honest, reasonable, and ethical political operative," the lawsuit says. "As a direct and proximate result of the publication of the defamatory statements, Mr. LaCivita has suffered special damages, including damage to his reputation and loss of business income."

LaCivita issued a short statement confirming his defamation lawsuit against the Daily Beast.

"F*** around and Find Out," LaCivita wrote on X.

Lawyers representing LaCivita sent three letters to the Daily Beast urging the outlet to retract its "defamatory" story and issue an apology, Axios first reported in January. In the first letter, his team stated in November that the piece was defamatory because it alleged that he personally received the cash, instead of his firm, and failed to mention that most of the money was used to pay for vendors and campaign advertising, leading the Beast to issue a correction at the end of the piece.

A second letter was then sent to the Beast, arguing that the correction was insufficient and and retraction was needed, Axios report. The article "depicts Mr. LaCivita as deceptively pocketing campaign money for his own personal gain" and was on the "verge of being 'fired' because of it," attorneys said.

The third letter demanded that the outlet delete a podcast segment that referenced the incorrect $22 million figure, Axios reported. The Beast followed LaCivita's request and issued an editor's note to say the outlet "regret[ed" the error."

LaCivita and the Republican National Committee (RNC), who is funding the case, first expressed their intentions to sue The Daily Beast in January as the outlet continues to "stand by" its reporting, according to Axios.

A spokesperson for The Daily Beast told the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) that the lawsuit is "meritless" and that the outlet intends to "defend itself vigorously."

"The Daily Beast stands by its reporting on Chris LaCivita. His lawsuit is meritless and a transparent attempt to intimidate the Beast and silence the independent press," the spokesperson said. "The Beast will defend itself vigorously and looks forward to following the money to confirm where every penny flowed in LaCivita's LLC."

Trump and his associates have entered several legal battles with media outlets. ABC News settled a lawsuit with Trump by paying him $15 million in December after host George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed he was found liable of rape during a March 10, 2024, segment, while the president also filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News for editing a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Republican National Committee did not immediately respond to the DCNF's request for comment.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth taunted U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes for blocking the Trump administration's decision to ban transgender people from the military.

The taunt included an offhanded gender reference.

Hegseth posted, "Since "Judge" Reyes is now a top military planner, she/they can report to Fort Benning at 0600 to instruct our Army Rangers on how to execute High Value Target Raids."

Hegseth added that he could suggest additional military work for the judge.

"After that, Commander Reyes can dispatch to Fort Bragg to train our Green Berets on counterinsurgency warfare," he wrote.

When Judge Reyes handed down the original ruling on the military transgender case, Hegseth posted, "We are appealing this decision, and we will win."

The Feb. 26 memorandum from the Pentagon to military commanders said, "The medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service."

The ban on transgender military service was challenged by several active-duty U.S. military personnel. The Trump administration's appeal of the judge's ruling in the case has not been decided.

President Donald Trump said Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is "a good guy."

Trump, who has been critical of The Washington Post, told OutKick that he applauds the newspaper's efforts, led by Bezos, to be more fair in its coverage.

"I didn't really know him in the first term," Trump said. "It's such a difference between now and the first time." 

Trump said Bezos told him he wants the paper's coverage to be more evenhanded.

"They actually did a couple of bad articles on him (Bezos)," Trump told OutKick. "He said, 'This is crazy, I lose my fortune running this thing and they (Post newsroom employees), you know, they're out of control.' These people are crazy. They're crazy people. They're out of control."

In his second term, Trump said he has more support.

"If you look at the inauguration, look at the people that were on that stage," Trump told OutKick. "Here was a who's who of a world that was totally against me the first time. It's a much different presidency. I have much more support."

Bezos announced the Post's opinion pages will emphasize personal and economic freedom, and last year he killed an editorial endorsing Kamala Haris for president.

"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets," Bezos said. "We'll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others."
