Trump Lawyer Sued for $120M Over Shady Spying Drama

[Zorro]

Ted Kittila worked for Truth Social while acting for a foreign regime that tried to buy sinister spyware in the U.S.

A prominent Republican attorney who worked for Donald Trump’s cherished social media company is facing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit over his role in a bizarre international spying escapade.

Ted Kittila, who was recently hired by the Republican National Committee, has been hit with a $120 million suit accusing him of fraud, civil conspiracy, and extortion on behalf of agents of an abusive foreign regime.

The Daily Beast can reveal that the Delaware-based lawyer has been named in a complaint, filed in late April in his home state’s federal court, for his work on behalf of representatives of an authoritarian Middle Eastern government that sought to obtain sinister surveillance software in the U.S.

Kittila, 52, has deep ties to the GOP. He previously represented Trump Media & Technology Group in a bitter legal spat over ownership of Truth Social. He also assisted with the long-running Republican probe of the Biden family, and was hired by the RNC to sue the Delaware State Election Commissioner for access to voter rolls. The RNC legal action in Delaware is the latest in a string of similar Republican voter-roll lawsuits across the country that rights groups have slammed as part of a broader push to enable voter purges.
