Trump’s lawyer launches legal action against BuzzFeed for publishing ‘completely fabricated’ dossier

Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s personal attorney, says he has instructed his own attorney to investigate legal action against BuzzFeed, which posted an opposition research “dossier” that accused Mr. Cohen without proof of a conspiracy with Russian agents.

Mr. Cohen told The Washington Times that he also is considering a lawsuit against former British spy Christopher Steele, who wrote the gossipy 35-page dossier that the liberal news website posted on Jan. 10.

Mr. Steele was paid by a Hillary Clinton supporter, via the Democratic Party-linked firm Fusion GPS, to gather dirt on candidate Trump last summer and fall. GPS circulated the Steele memos to reporters and Democrats.

Good. Fake news is just another name for slander or libel, and should be prosecuted.

He should include McCain in this. He was the one who sent a courier to get it in England.

It would be so sweet if somehow Jeb and McCain could be charged as part of the deceptions.

He needs to also sue the person who ordered it originally and needs to find out who turned it loose.

Mr. Cohen should choose where he files this carefully, to avoid a leftist judge limiting DISCOVERY. Can’t wait to learn who paid whom, and when, and just how the dossier was trafficked. Mr. Steele is probably developing memory problems...

McCain reportedly had dinner with Trump at the White House last evening.

I wonder what they discussed?

Well Washington Times, which is it, has legal action or are they looking into launching legal action. Bad reporting.
