Maria Ristow and Vice Mayor Rob Moore, alongside Lee Fagot, denied all allegations of defamation made by Lynley Kerr Hogan, arguing the statements were either truthful or opinion-based.
Hogan claims Ristow, Moore, and Fagot conspired to defame her by suggesting she threatened violence at a council meeting, violating her First Amendment rights.
The lawsuit alleges intentional exclusion from the Democracy Tent meetings caused Hogan emotional distress; Ristow and Moore's attorneys seek dismissal and costs.
Fagot argued his organization is not subjected to First Amendment obligations, refuting Hogan's defamation claims while denying ever making damaging comments about her.
