The president's personal attorney tells NBCU brass that legal proceedings could be pursued if there's no retraction or apology for stating that "Russian oligarchs" co-signed loans to Trump.
Donald Trump is ratcheting up his war with the media, as if such thing was conceivable. On Wednesday, his personal attorney Charles Harder threatened NBCUniversal with a defamation suit over what was broadcast the previous night on MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell. A missive sent to NBCU headquarters, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, also addresses a related tweet.
According to Harder's demand letter, "The Program and Tweet make the false and defamatory statements that 'Russian oligarchs' co-signed loans provided to Mr. Trump by Deutsche Bank, and described these 'co-signers' as 'Russian billionaires close to Vladimir Putin.'”

MSDNC know they lied but they dont care..its all about the bigger picture, they need Trump gone in order to turn America full commie
Larry’s never been anything but a lying scumbag POS.
Sue and MSNBC gets the loan documents and tax returns in the discovery, which may be what they’re angling for all along. If there’s a cosigner then whoever the cosigner is had best be someone Trump doesn’t mind being identified.
Hilarious
Free DJT advertising...
Good, I’m glad they’re going after him.
They can be kept under seal with only the defense attorney getting to see them to ensure no release I would think...but good luck finding an amiable judge.
Talked to a youngish bartender last weekend who complained about having to go to BBC and other foreign news websites for any news going on in the world, but said it was absolutely necessary for our media to stay focused on getting rid of Trump.
To big to be sued? Nice to finally have a president with backbone not like the wimps we’ve had the last several.
*************
I laughed.
The MSM has been unleashing a non-stop s***storm against PDJT since the moment he announced, he fights back a little and all of a sudden he’s “ratcheting up his war against the media.”
They can dish it out but they sure can’t take it.
They use the word oligarch like it’s a “title”. They’re just rich Russian businessmen.
Good luck keeping them sealed.
First president in history that could fill a 24-7 news channel with amazing accomplishments for the American People. LMAO!!
Sue them out of existence
The Covington kids might have a chance with their suits since they are not ‘public figures’ but Trump has a nearly impossible task with such a lawsuit.
O’Donnell still gets wet dreams about Watergate.

Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process. I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air. I will address the issue on my show tonight.

That was quick.
Well, I guess they knew it was false ‘cause they’re scrambling now to retract it.
