Journalist Ben Caspit issued a strong denial and threatened legal action following a report by Channel 14. The report alleged that during the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, the Prime Minister's lawyer, Amit Haddad, presented documents suggesting that the Prime Minister's drivers served as Caspit's sources.
Caspit vehemently refuted these claims, stating in a post that the report was a "gross, abhorrent, and absolute lie." He clarified that Haddad presented no such documents and that he has never used any Prime Minister's driver as a source. Caspit sarcastically added that he wished he had such sources, as they would know a great deal, but admitted he has never been able to contact or utilize them.
Caspit warned that anyone repeating the alleged falsehood would face a defamation lawsuit. He also announced that Channel 14 itself would be sued by him the following morning over a separate matter.
