The term “slut” has no precise meaning. So proving it as defamation would be pretty tough.
I believe Rush also referred to her as “a prostitute.” Unless he can prove she has accepted money for sexual services, Rush would not have truth available as a defense for that one.

Yeah. That thought was in the back of my mind while I was posting. Regarding the “prostitute” remark, if he can demonstrate that she took money for ANYTHING sex related from the government, it proves the point he was trying to make - that us paying for anything she uses in the sex act equated to her being a prostitute in a backhanded way.
And to be fair, the way he said it was to imply that she was admitting to stuff that would technically make her the equivalent of a prostitute. His words there would be hard to either attack or defend in a court of law. It is solely an opinion about the global meaning of what another person was saying.
