Alec Baldwin Asks For Dismissal Of $25 Million Defamation Lawsuit
Actor Alec Baldwin on Monday asked a federal judge in Wyoming to dismiss a $25 million defamation lawsuit against him by the family of a U.S. Marine who was killed in Afghanistan.
Attorneys for Baldwin, in a memorandum supporting his request for dismissal filed Monday, said the family of Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum had failed to state a case against Baldwin.
“This is a political dispute masquerading as a lawsuit, motivated further by money. The public square—not this Court—is the proper place to debate Alec Baldwin’s opinion,” the memorandum said.
