Svmuu reported that the Trump family crypto project World Liberty Financial has hired prominent litigator Tom Clare to represent them in the Sun Yunchuan lawsuit, with the law firm being Clare Locke LLP.
Tom Clare is known to specialize in commercial litigation and defamation cases. He is active in media and technology-related legal disputes and has gained attention in the crypto industry for representing project parties or companies in disputes such as defamation and contract breaches. In 2023, Tom Clare led a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, accusing it of spreading false claims about "Dominion machine fraud" in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The case reached a $787.5 million settlement before trial, hailed as one of the largest public defamation settlements involving an American media company.
Previously, World Liberty Financial filed a lawsuit in a Florida state court, accusing Sun Yunchuan of defamation and alleging that he had launched a "systematic pressure campaign" against the project.
