The suit alleged that the defendants defamed Sherwood by stating in a "widely circulated e-mail" that Sherwood [is] "a disgraced former journalist" who "crawled out of the gutter". It also alleged "conspiracy and interference with contractual relations". Podesta responded that Sherwood "had his 15-minute Andy Warhol moment last year. Maybe he wants another." On August 3, 2006, Sherwood's lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge.
