Jay-Z’s Extortion Claim Against Tony Buzbee Back From Dead
Jay-Z's extortion claim against Tony Buzbee appears poised to survive a challenge after a judge reviewed new evidence related to a Jane Doe accuser
At a hearing in Santa Monica, California, the Los Angeles County judge said he reconsidered his position based on stunning new evidence collected by private investigators and submitted by Jay-Z ’s lawyers.
