A longtime Republican consultant who has been harshly criticized by Donald J. Trump filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit on Monday accusing him and his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, of making false statements that harmed her professionally and personally.

The consultant, Cheri Jacobus, accused Mr. Trump and Mr. Lewandowski of libeling her by depicting her as a disappointed job-seeker who turned on Mr. Trump after he declined to hire her.

When Ms. Jacobus criticized Mr. Trump on CNN in late January and early February, Mr. Trump branded her on Twitter as “a real dummy” who had “begged my people for a job.” Mr. Lewandowski described her in similar terms on television.

But in the legal filing, Ms. Jacobus claims those accusations were false and caused “enormous damage to her career and reputation, significant emotional distress” and held her up to “public ridicule.”

1. Anyone want to bet that this is what's going to happen to tRump?

2. It's not my job to defend Cheri Jacobus

I've watched her on tv since the 1990's bashing the Clintons with all of her sanctimonious crap, so this is chickens come home to roost if Donald Trump wasn't going to put up with her crap.

Not my job to stand up in her defense if she feels her career was damaged by The Donald.
