The Huffington Post and a former reporter for the website have been sued by a man who said he was defamed in an article the outlet published about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Ashley Feinberg, who now works for Slate, wrote an article that was published on Sept. 10, 2018, about the “party scene” at Kavanaugh’s high school, Georgetown Prep.
