“Ted Cruz on Wednesday said Donald Trump’s campaign had threatened legal action over a campaign ad. His response: Bring it on.
Cruz, the former solicitor general of Texas and an ex-Supreme Court clerk, was in full lawyer mode as he stood before a hotel conference room packed with reporters and cameras and challenged Trump to file a lawsuit, relishing the prospect of personally deposing his Republican rival.
The senator, armed with an easel that displayed Trump’s campaign contributions to Democrats and a video of the ad in question, held forth for 40 minutes, seeking to steal the spotlight in South Carolina days before Saturday’s primary, after being repeatedly hammered with criticisms from both Trump and Marco Rubio.
“Donald, if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it’s defamation, file the lawsuit,” Cruz told reporters here after playing the ad, which shows clips of Trump espousing more liberal positions on issues like abortion from an interview with Tim Russert more than a decade ago.
Cruz, a Harvard-educated lawyer, went on to say he might conduct legal proceedings against Trump in court himself. And he warned that should Trump proceed, he and his lawyers would be “sanctioned in court for filing frivolous litigation.”
Cruz’s press conference comes as he seeks to recapture some momentum in the final days before Saturday’s primary in a deeply conservative state that should be friendly territory, but where he instead lags well behind Trump.”
