The lawyer Todd McMurtry told Fox News that Rittenhouse could pursue a defamation case over a tweet that Biden posted before he was president.
Biden's message was accompanied by a video clip in which Rittenhouse is pictured holding a weapon.
McMurtry said that as Biden was not president at the time of the tweet, he would not have any presidential or congressional immunity from a civil suit. "Lots of media people said he was a murderer, and I think that's actionable because that suggests that he committed a crime, and we now know that he didn't," McMurtry told Fox News.that at the time of Biden's tweet, Rittenhouse was a"public figure" for the purposes of defamation law.
