Rittenhouse Attorney Demands Biden Apologize For Defamation

L. Lin Wood, the lead attorney on the team representing the Illinois teenager charged with two counts of murder in a shooting during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last month, has sent a letter to Joe Biden’s campaign demanding that a video released by the campaign showing Rittenhouse while Biden talked about “white supremacists” be taken off the Internet, along with a retraction and an apology by the Democratic presidential candidate.

News of the letter first broke with this tweet by attorney Ron Coleman, also a part of the Rittenhouse defense team.

According to the letter sent by Wood, a video that Biden released after this week’s presidential debate defamed Rittenhouse by including him in a “montage of images depicting violence and disorder presumably committed by ‘white supremacists’” or self-styled militia members.
