Politico Playbook: Brewer Client Gregg Jarrett Sues Simon & Schuster, Vigliano Associates

April 1, 2025 — Politico reports on a lawsuit by Brewer client Gregg Jarrett, a Fox News legal analyst, against Simon & Schuster. Jarrett contends that the publishing house stole his book project about "lawfare" against Donald Trump — and gave it to Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow.

In addition to Simon & Schuster, the suit singles out David Vigliano, Jarrett's former literary agent, who Politico notes also reps Marlow.

“This case is about betrayal at the highest levels of publishing — where those entrusted to champion Mr. Jarrett’s work instead allegedly conspired to exploit his ideas, misappropriate his opportunity and enrich themselves at his expense,” Jarrett lawyer William A. Brewer III, a partner at Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors, said in a statement to Playbook.
