The Lawyer representing the family of Kyle Rittenhouse asked the presidential campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden to preserve records related to a recent campaign video. The video is defamatory to Rittenhouse and the records thus need to be preserved for potential litigation, the lawyer, Lin Wood, said in an Oct. 2 letter to the campaign.

The letter asks the campaign to delete the video from the internet, issue a retraction, and apologize. Otherwise, Wood will file the suit, the letter implies.
