Yep, that is my assumption, for sure. It’s an educated guess though, because what other reason could he have had for denying one party to try and prove their innocence by counter suing. I mean, his defamation lawsuit has just as much credibility as hers. Why is he being denied?
The only assumption, unless someone can show differently, is a liberal bias, which seems to be majorly present in todays legal system.
Again, if you have an alternate explanation, I’m open to hearing it. The judge, however, hasn’t given us the answer yet.
