The feud between Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Jeffrey Lichtman, attorney for cartel leader Ovidio Guzmán López, escalated Monday as Sheinbaum told reporters she is preparing a defamation lawsuit against the lawyer.
During her daily press conference, Sheinbaum responded to remarks Lichtman made last week, in which he accused the Mexican government of acting "as the public relations arm of a narco-trafficking organization."
