Ivan Raiklin discussed his plan to file a defamation lawsuit in Virginia against Michael Fanone following their confrontation at the J6 hearing. Raiklin characterized Fanone as a "lackey" for Nancy Pelosi, citing passages from Fanone's own book about his close ties to Democratic leadership. Witness Leland Lerman corroborated Raiklin's account, describing Fanone's behavior as a "Tourette's syndrome" response to the exposure of January 6 facts.
