Trump threatens to sue CNN, seeks 'substantial' payment over damages
WASHINGTON - Lawyers for U.S. President Donald Trump and his re-election campaign have threatened in a letter to sue CNN for what they said was the network falsely advertising itself as a news organization, calling on executives to first discuss an"appropriate resolution" to the matter that would include a"substantial" payment to cover damages.
Rebecca Tushnet, a professor of false advertising law at Harvard Law School, said there was"no merit" to the letter's legal arguments and that she doubted a lawsuit would ever be filed. Harder also threatened a libel lawsuit over “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” by author Michael Wolff, a book that portrayed an inept president in a fumbling White House.
