Is Trump About to Drive CNN into Bankruptcy?
Former President Donald Trump has notified CNN that he is intending to file a defamation lawsuit against the company for its refusal to back his claims that election fraud accounted for his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race.
“I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump Won’t Stop There!
“I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 election.”
“I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me,” Trump said in a statement. “I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election. I will never stop fighting for the truth and for the future of our Country!”
The 282-page letter from Trump’s attorneys to CNN executives, dated July 21, calls for the network to retract or correct numerous on-air statements and published articles about Trump that the lawyers allege are false and defamatory.
The letter goes on to cite dozens of examples, many of which relate to the network’s coverage of Trump’s repeated claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.
CNN coverage frequently referred to those claims as “lies,” “false narratives” and “baseless theories,” among other terms.
“FALSE & DEFAMATORY”
The lawsuit alleges those descriptions are “false and defamatory.”
“Without regard for President Trump’s genuine belief in his statements, CNN has published numerous articles characterizing him as a ‘liar’ and the purveyor of the ‘Big Lie,’” the letter to CNN states.
“People forget, this is all about a Rigged and Stolen Election,” Trump noted.
CNN Compared Trump to Nazi’s
The letter reads, “For the months and years that have followed the 2020 election, CNN took it uponitself to engage in a campaign of dissuasion – branding President Trump a liar, and onewho subscribes to the notion of the “Big Lie.”
“As CNN repeatedly reminds its readers, that concept is linked to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi-era idiom, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
Questions About Election Integrity Are Not Baseless
“Well after the election process and associated litigation has died down, information continues to be gathered that suggests there were unusual problems with the 2020 election. A CNN article from February 2022 reported on a recent CNN poll showing that 56% of Americans have little or no confidence in our elections, with “just 68% of Democrats” expressing confidence and “41% of independents.” CNN’s Editor-at-Large ascribes this level of doubt to “the insidiousness of Trump’s big lie” and likens his claimsto an ear worm “wheedling [its] way into the consciousness of the public.”
THE CORRUPT MEDIA.
“But rather than go after the people that rigged the election, they go after the people that are seeking Honesty and Truth, and have Freedom of Speech, and many other defenses, on their side! Justice Department should look at The Crime of the Century. Evidence is massive and irrefutable!!!”
Is the media finally getting a taste of their own medicine?
The Republican National Committee Does Not Support Trump
The Republican National Committee has told Trump that it will stop paying his legal bills if he announces himself as a 2024 presidential candidate.
As of late February, Trump had filed 42 separate lawsuits since Election Day in 2020 and lost them all.
In December of last year, Trump did win a case in which Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers had asked a court to make the former president pay for the state’s legal fees in mounting a defense against Trump’s unsuccessful election lawsuit there.
“They really want to damage me so I can no longer go back to work for you,” Trump said. “And I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
