A shady new super PAC named for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg just spent nearly $20 million on efforts to help Donald Trump appear more moderate on abortion, but the group won’t reveal where its money comes from until after the election.

I believe that is the case yes. The logic behind why libel and defamation are crimes is that it can cause damage to a person and their livlihood. It could obviously hurt the earning potential of their estate, like if they were still selling books posthumously. But i don’t think that’s protected.
Thanks for breaking it down! It’s been a long time since management degree law classes.
