Iseman v. NYT
Vicki Iseman filed a defamation suit against the New York Times on December 30, 2008, seeking $27 million in damages. The suit alleges that a New York Times feature article depicting the affair gave readers the impression that McCain and herself had engaged in an "illicit and inappropriate romantic relationship." Iseman claims that a Times investigation discovered no credible information, yet the article was still "powerfully damaging" to her reputation and "destroyed the heart and soul of [her] professional identity and sense of personal self-worth."The Smoking Gun: NY Times Sued Over McCain Affair Story (December 30, 2008)
