An amended lawsuit claims that higher-ups overseeing the Conservative Political Action Conference knew about previous claims of sexual misconduct by Chairman Matt Schlapp but failed to act.

The amended battery and defamation suit claims the officials failed to investigate the allegations or remove Schlapp from his position, even though two men joined Carlton Huffman, who filed his lawsuit in January, in reporting alleged misconduct to CPAC's parent organization, American Conservative Union.

“ACU previously was notified and aware of Matthew Schlapp’s propensity for unlawful sexual assault and battery, including at least two prior incidents of similar conduct,” the filing said. “ACU was negligent in its continued employment of Matthew Schlapp in a prominent leadership role.”

The two new individuals are not named in the lawsuit and are not joining the case. But their reports were found during discovery, according to the Washington Post.

Trump campaign kicks off Catholic voter outreach project

New York — April 3, 2020

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is ramping up its courtship of Catholic voters ahead of a likely November matchup against a devout Catholic Democrat, former Vice President Joe Biden.

The campaign previewed its message at a April 2 night launch of a "Catholics for Trump" coalition, touting the president's religious freedom record and anti-abortion policies. In a sign of how significantly the coronavirus has upended the presidential race, the event also featured Trump backers promoting his response to the pandemic – with one describing it as aligned with Catholic teaching about solidarity.

Ahead of a general election where Catholics could prove to be vital swing voters, particularly in the Midwest, the coalition launch indicates that Trump doesn't plan to limit his faith-based outreach to evangelicals who have long been a key part of his base. But Biden, who's frequently invoked his faith on the Democratic primary trail, could bring a unique advantage with Catholic voters to this fall's contest.

At the heart of the competition for Catholic votes in November is the question of how many in the faith view abortion as the primary driver of their political engagement. Pope Francis has urged Trump to adopt an immigration stance consistent with his "pro-life" identity, and progressive Catholics have decried Trump's approach to issues from health care to climate change as inconsistent with their church's teachings.
