Candidate for IL Attorney General Thomas DeVore has filed a defamation suit; respondents include David Shestokas (also running for Attorney General), Bobby Piton (running for US Senate), and 2 other parties. It alleges that the mother of DeVore's girlfriend (Craig) colluded with Shestokas, Shestokas' sister, and Pitton in the defamation effort.
In the civil lawsuit filed May 16th, they are alleged to be behind a circulated substack post that accused DeVore of domestic battery among other activities, all of which DeVore says are false and caused harm to his reputation.
The petition was posted to Bobby Piton’s campaign site and may be downloaded below. The civil lawsuit requests that all parties preserve electronic records for discovery.
DeVore, an Awake IL Warrior, is seeking damages in excess of $50k. We support him getting every dime in damages along with a Republican primary victory for Attorney General.
