Company linked to Clintons sues to silence GOP strategist Ed Rollins
The defamation suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, says Rollins made "false statements" about Teneo Holdings to Lou Dobbs on "Fox Business News" on Oct. 28 and to the New York Times in an Oct. 22 article.

"The ability to bring business and political leaders together to meet the CEOs was all part of the selling point," Rollins said. He also told the newspaper that Teneo quietly hosted salons connecting executives with Democratic lawmakers.
