Javier Manjarres ordered to pay $25K in defamation suit vs. Florida GOP official
GOP Committeeman Richard DeNapoli said Manjarres lobbed false stolen valor claims at DeNapoli and violated a previous settlement.
Javier Manjarres is taking another loss this time in court after a judge ordered him to pay $25,000 for violating a settlement agreement with Republican Party of Florida State Committeeman
Richard DeNapoli.
After the 2014 posts, DeNapoli sued for defamation. After wrangling in court for a few years, the case wrapped with a confidential settlement agreement in 2016.
That should have been the end of it, but DeNapoli reopened the suit in 2018 and accused Manjarres of breaking the settlement agreement by continuing to attack DeNapoli on Twitter and in now-deleted posts to Manjarres’ website.
