“Two members of the powerful Durst real estate family in New York have sued the centrist group No Labels, accusing it of pulling a ‘bait and switch’ by seeking donations for a bipartisan governing group and then moving to fund a third-party presidential candidacy,” the New York Times reports.
“The breach of contract and ‘unjust enrichment’ suit was filed in New York State Supreme Court on Tuesday by the chairman and president of the Durst Organization, Douglas and Jonathan Durst, who are cousins. It seeks damages and reimbursements after the Dursts donated $145,000 years ago, when No Labels was founded on the promise of finding governing solutions.”
“The suit is an escalation of complaints that have trailed the group for much of the last few years, and it suggests that No Labels has morphed into something other than its original mission ahead of the 2024 election.”
