DescriptionChristine O’Donnell threatened Tuesday to sue a Delaware radio station for not turning over a videotape of an interview with the Republican Senate nominee.

A campaign official demanded that WDEL give them the tape of the interview that had just aired, and, when the station refused, the candidate told host Rick Jenson said she would sue, according to an account from WDEL.

The radio station also contends that O’Donnell campaign manager Matt Moran called the station and threatened to “crush WDEL” if the tape was not handed over.

After WDEL’s legal counsel conferred with O’Donnell’s legal team — and showed O’Donnell’s attorneys video of the interview — the campaign’s lawyers apologized to the station.

An O’Donnell spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment to POLITICO.
