Lawyer for Trump campaign co-manager demands Daily Beast retract story client pocketed $22 million

A lawyer representing Chris LaCivita, co-manager of the Trump campaign, and the Republican National Committee wrote a letter to demanding the Daily Beast news website correct or retract a story claiming LaCivita made $22 million from Trump campaign entities in two years. 

In the letter, attorney Mark Geragos argued the story is "categorically false and belied by the campaign finance records themselves."

The letter also suggests the alleged inaccurate story was given to the news site by Corey Lewandowski, an on-and off-again Trump campaign official. 

"We have reason to believe that these false and defamatory allegations were published by The Daily Beast, through its reporters, Michael Isikoff, Hugh Dougherty, and Lily Mae Lazarus, with actual malice and in knowing reliance on unreliable information provided by Corey Lewandowski and others in a blatant act against Mr. LaCivita and the RNC," the lawyer wrote.
