What happened

A proposed class action was filed against Politico LLC, apparently alleging fraud. The available docket text does not describe the specific allegations, but the case is docketed under 'Other Fraud' and involves discovery disputes. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
