Radio host Rush Limbaugh has threatened to sue the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for defamation, The Daily Caller has learned.

Limbaugh retained the services of lawyer Patty Glaser and demanded that the DCCC “preserve all records in anticipation of a lawsuit for defamation and interference” after the Democratic Party group led a campaign against Limbaugh based on out-of-context statements the host made about sexual assault. Limbaugh’s legal team delivered a letter to DCCC representatives Monday informing them of the legal threat. Limbaugh has also demanded a public retraction and apology.

The Limbaugh team is currently proceeding from the standpoint of litigating and has not yet made a decision as to whether the DCCC could make any concessions at this point to prevent the lawsuit.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. – A Maryland jury has awarded a white teacher $350,000 in damages for being discriminated against by his former principal, an African-American woman.

The Washington Post reports teacher Jon Everhart, 65, filed a lawsuit in 2010 against Prince George’s County Public Schools on the grounds that Largo High School Principal Angelique Simpson-Marcus subjected him to abuse because of his race.

Everhart claims Simpson-Marcus called him “poor white trash” and “white b—-,” and told students that the “only reason a white teacher teaches in (Prince George’s) County is that they can’t get a job elsewhere.”

Simpson-Marcus’ hostility toward Everhart reportedly began in 2003 when both were working as teachers in Largo High School. Everhart says Simpson-Marcus told him that if she ever became principal, he would be the first person she would fire, the Washington Post reports.

Bryan Chapman, Everhart’s attorney, said that when Simpson-Marcus became the school’s principal in 2007, “Everhart, who was once named the school’s Teacher of the Year and who received stellar evaluations, started to receive unsatisfactory performance evaluations,” the news 

Media reports indicate Everhart was fired after the 2009-10 school year.

Everhart says his years of harassment from Simpson-Marcus contributed to a decline in his health, including high blood pressure and heart problems.

Simpson-Marcus denies all wrongdoing.
