Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe Arpaio, the controversial former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, has filed a libel suit against The New York Times and a member of its editorial board.<\/em><\/p>\n

In a complaint<\/a> filed Tuesday evening with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the ex-lawman takes issue with a Times opinion piece published just after Arpaio\u2019s loss in the state\u2019s Republican primary for U.S. Senate. The article \u2014 \u201cWell, at Least Sheriff Joe Isn\u2019t Going to Congress: Arpaio\u2019s loss in Arizona\u2019s Senate Republican primary is a fitting end to the public life of a truly sadistic man” \u2014 was written by Michelle Cottle.<\/em><\/p>\n

Arpaio argues in the court filing that \u201c[w]hile the Defamatory Article is strategically titled as an opinion piece, it contains several false, defamatory factual assertions.\u201d The claims made in the article, Arpaio says, were \u201ccarefully and maliciously calculated to damage and injure\u201d his reputation among the law enforcement community, as well as among GOP donors who could help bankroll his intended run for the late Sen. John McCain\u2019s seat in 2020, currently held by Sen. Jon Kyl.<\/em><\/p>\n
