Eichenwald Defamation Suit: It Is On
While no one had heard a peep yet today about former Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald's threatened $10-million defamation suit against reporter Debbie Nathan, including, as of this afternoon, Ms. Nathan's attorney, we hear it is so ready to go. The complaint will be filed in Dallas, in either the state or federal court. Debbie Nathan is being advised by the deep-voiced Victor Kovner (right), who's represented Village Voice Media and Wenner Media; he's also offered her advice regarding Eichenwald in their previous tanglings, though he may not represent her in the action. Eichenwald is being represented by Tim Perkins, of Underwood, Perkins & Ralston, which is not in New York and therefore we know nothing about it.
