Bobulinski Sues J6 Trial Star Cassidy Hutchinson for Defamation

Hutchinson is being sued for “malicious conduct” by Bobulinski. He claims the former White House aide fabricated details about meetings between him and Meadows in her memoir released last September, “Enough.” Hutchinson, the lawsuit reads, “cashed in on her brief proximity to President Trump to become the ‘star’ witness of, and in collaboration with, the January 6th Committee and profited from politically left-wing business ventures.”

“In one of her business ventures, Defendant released a book in which she defamed Mr. Bobulinski and painted him in a false light,” the lawsuit continues. “Defendant did so, in part, by lying about a meeting between Mr. Bobulinski and Mark Meadows, dishonestly portraying it to be unethical and, possibly, illegal.” ...

Hutchinson has been caught peddling other falsehoods in “Enough.” In the book, Hutchinson claimed Meadows gave copies of classified documents to Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway.

“It’s a straight-up lie and it never happened,” Hemingway wrote on X.

On one hand, Bobulinski is almost certain to be considered a "public person" under the Sullivan standard. On the other, this is commercial speech, ie, intended to literally profit the speaker, which makes it easier to lay out a malicious motive, even if that's different than "actual malice."
