    1. But with regard to the first story, note that the assertion of White House involvement is based on a text message that the sender now claims was a joke. The essence of the suit is the claim that the reporter fabricated quotes attributed to the plaintiff. That could come down to "he said, she said," except that responsible reporters are supposed to keep records supporting such attributions.
