Attorneys for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have sent a letter to the Lincoln Project, an organization made up of former Republicans who are virulently anti-Trump, after the group put up billboards in Times Square featuring images of the couple.
“I am writing concerning the false, malicious and defamatory ads that the Lincoln Project is displaying on billboards in Times Square,” attorney Mark Kasowitz wrote in the letter. “If these billboards are not immediately removed, we will sue you for what will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages.”
As The Hill reported, the attorneys mentioned two billboards that appeared in Times Square:
The attorneys in a letter to The Lincoln Project complained about one billboard showing Trump, a senior adviser to her father, smiling and gesturing next to figures showing over 33,000 New Yorkers and 221,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. The lawyers also cited a billboard featuring Kushner, another senior White House adviser, next to body bags and an unrelated 2019 quote from before the pandemic in which he said New Yorkers would “suffer.”
The Lincoln Project responded to the attorneys’ letter in a statement.
“The level of indignant outrage Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have shown towards The Lincoln Project for exposing their indifference for the more than 223,000 people who have lost their lives due to their reckless mismanagement of COVID-19 is comical. While we truly enjoy living rent free in their heads, their empty threats will not be taken any more seriously than we take Ivanka and Jared,” the organization said.
“It is unsurprising that an administration that has never had any regard or understanding of our Constitution would try to trample on our first amendment rights, but we fully intend on making this civics lesson as painful as possible,&#8221; the Lincoln Project added.
The Lincoln Project has worked with Democrats to support Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and oppose President Donald Trump.
In July, The Daily Wire’s Tim Pearce <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anti-trump-lincoln-project-plans-to-push-biden-agenda-if-hes-elected-co-founder-says">reported</a> that one of the co-founders of the Lincoln Project said that not only are they working to defeat Trump, but they would push Biden’s agenda if he’s elected.
“He will have a mandate to clean up the mess that Trump has created with the help of his enablers,” co-founder John Weaver <a href="https://t.co/mhdzK2AAqf?amp=1">told</a> Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent. “That shouldn’t be held up. We intend to do all we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
In addition to campaigning against Trump, the Lincoln Project has also spent money trying to take down GOP senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Susan Collings (R-ME), and Cory Gardner (R-CO).
The Lincoln Project has made numerous missteps in its anti-Republican campaign, including falling for <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/reddit-troll-dupes-project-lincoln-into-believing-ben-shapiro-set-up-an-antifa-website">a hoax</a> from an online troll. The troll, Adam Rahuba, created a fake website to allegedly recruit people for the violent left-wing group Antifa, and put Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro’s name and company email address in the source code to make it look as though Shapiro created the website, which he didn’t.
Full disclosure: I wrote for the New York Observer while Kushner was the publisher.

I have noted before that I grew up in Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates. From 1980-1990, my family lived in an ungated community in the middle of the city down the street from the Iranian Hospital with the Jumeirah American School just one long block up the road. We walked to school every day.
The school changed its name to the American School of Dubai the year after I graduated. It moved locations. The current school at the old location is the Jumeirah Baccalaureate School. My old house is all that remains of my neighborhood. The whole place got leveled and rebuilt, except my house on the corner at 27 Sheikh Rashid Villas, which is now No. 39 on 32b Street, Dubai, UAE. The only reason my house remained is because it became a doctor&#8217;s office some time after we moved home in the run up to the first Gulf War.
Growing up, our history and geography textbooks all had pages missing or redacted. Anything that referenced Israel got taken out by censors. Maps of the Eastern Mediterranean had Israel either relabeled as Palestine or simply scribbled out with black Sharpie.
In ninth grade, my class went to Greece. At the base of the Acropolis is the Athens Agora. I remember a bunch of flags and our teacher pointing one out that was white with blue stripes and a blue star. None of knew it was the Israeli flag. That flag had either been cut out or redacted from our textbooks. The World Book Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia Britannica had pages misses and redacted in the library. Phone calls could not connect from Israel to the UAE. It was as if there were no phone lines between the two. We could not travel to Israel, and I have still never been to Israel. We could not reenter the UAE with an Israeli stamp in our passports.
It is of monumental importance that the UAE and Israel now are extending diplomatic relations to each other, recognizing each other, engaging in commerce with each other, and letting information and phone calls flow between the nations. Bahrain and Oman were similarly situated; Bahrain has also recognized Israel, and Oman will, too.
This is a huge win for the Trump administration. There is a credible argument that the nations were induced into acting together because they fear the United States will not help them in a skirmish with Iran. But the Trump administration did play a role in brokering this deal, and the president does deserve credit.
Barack Obama received the peace prize merely for showing up; President Donald Trump has exceeded that standard here. And, yes, Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize merely for showing up.
On Tuesday, after the historic meeting of the nations at the White House, most of the American media downplayed it. The websites at CNN, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today either did not mention the summit or minimized it. Reporters and pundits claimed that because Israel, Bahrain and the UAE had never been in a physical war, it was really no big deal.
The American media&#8217;s response shows an ignorance of how Arab nations have treated Israel, including redacting Israel from textbooks, barring travel between the nations, refusing aviation flyovers and blocking telecommunications channels. It reveals that many of those who cover the news and pontificate on it have not lived lives with much exposure to the real world.
Remember, the talking heads claimed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem would spark a war. Various pundits and most experts claimed as much, including former Secretary of State John F. Kerry. On MSNBC, the loud voices opposed to Trump said Trump moving the embassy would get a lot of people killed and undermine peace in the Middle East. They were wrong and now claim there was always peace.
This is an enormous deal, and Trump and Jared Kushner do both deserve some credit — credit much of the media would prefer they not have, so they will ignore the story.
