Former President Trump's already-shaky defamation lawsuit against CNN that claimed the network likened him to Adolf Hitler by referring to ‘the Big Lie’ has officially been dismissed.
The lawsuit centered around CNN’s coverage of Trump after his failed 2020 bid for re-election, where the network repeatedly used the term “Trump asserted the phrase likened him to Hitler because it’s been used to describe lies told by the Nazis to justify atrocities in the Holocaust. Trump claimed the phrase defamed him and suggested to viewers he’d be “Hitler-like” in a future political position.
“CNN’s use of the phrase ‘the Big Lie’ in connection with Trump’s election challenges does not give rise to a plausible inference that Trump advocates the persecution and genocide of Jews or any other group of people,” Singhal wrote. “No reasonable viewer could plausibly make that reference.” The former president had pointed to five instances where “the Big Lie” was used to describe his unfounded election claims—some stated live on air, others in opinion pieces published on CNN’s website. The suit said CNN refused to retract the phrases when asked.
