The New York Young Republicans Club is taking an internal feud to court, suing its former press chair and accusing him of defamation after a very public falling-out tied to the group’s controversial holiday gala.
The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, names Lucian Baxter Wintrich as the sole defendant and seeks at least $5 million in damages across two claims, along with a court order requiring him to remove social media posts and refrain from making further statements about the organization.
