Trump family crypto project WLFI hires famous litigation lawyer Tom Clare in the Justin Sun lawsuit

Odaily reported that the Trump family crypto project World Liberty Financial has hired prominent litigation attorney Tom Clare for the Sun Yuchen lawsuit, with Clare Locke LLP serving as the legal firm.

It is understood that Tom Clare mainly focuses on commercial litigation and defamation cases, and is active in legal disputes related to media and technology. He has gained attention in the crypto industry for representing project teams or companies in controversies such as defamation and contract disputes. In 2023, Tom Clare led a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, accusing it of spreading false statements about “Dominion machine fraud” during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The case was settled for $787.5 million before trial, which is considered one of the largest public defamation settlements involving a U.S. media company.

Previously, it was reported that World Liberty Financial had filed a lawsuit in a Florida court, accusing Sun Yuchen of defamation and stating that he launched a “systematic pressure campaign” against the project.
