The lawsuit comes after Harvie’s attorneys last month sent a cease-and-desist letter over such statements to Defending America PAC, which subsequently challenged Harvie to file a lawsuit. Last month, Fitzpatrick and his campaign also received a cease-and-desist letter from Harvie’s lawyers, but neither the Bucks County Republican nor his campaign are named in Wednesday’s suit. The commissioner’s legal representation contends that Defending America PAC and Pack’s actions have harmed Harvie’s reputation and qualify as “actual malice.” What is Defending America PAC? The donation was marked just two days after Keystone Next received a $250,000 contribution from Jeffrey Yass, Pennsylvania’s richest man and largest Republican political benefactor.
