The Guardian reporter who was body-slammed by Montana Congressmember Greg Gianforte last year is threatening to withdraw from their settlement if the Republican congressmember continues to lie about the attack. Gianforte pleaded guilty to attacking reporter Ben Jacobs, and settled with him after agreeing to make a donation to the Committee to Protect Journalists and acknowledging that he assaulted Jacobs unprovoked. However, Gianforte recently made comments to a local paper defending his earlier story to the police that Jacobs initiated the attack. Gianforte is currently running for re-election. Last week, President Trump praised him at a Montana rally for the assault, saying, “Any guy that can do a body slam, he’s my kind of guy.”
