Donald Trump attorney demands retraction from New York Times

A Trump Organization attorney suggested Monday night that Donald Trump might sue the New York Times over a Sunday front page story about his behavior around women. Then on Tuesday morning, another Trump attorney said "I don't think that this is going to end up in litigation," but called on The Times to retract the story and apologize. The newspaper will not be doing that. It is standing firmly behind the story, which was the product of weeks of intensive reporting. The controversy is the latest illustration of how Trump runs against the media while simultaneously courting media attention.

I so love watching a candidate who doesn’t take crap from the left. It’s refreshing.

“The more Trump fights the leftist slime machine the better he’s gonna’ look to the voters.”

PRECISELY. It’s not like Trump needs the money - or has to win. But he does have to continue to show himself as a fighter, and suing does do that.

All he really needs is enough to get through the first hurdle, which means no summary dismissal. At that point the final results won’t even matter, since it will be after the election.

“Does he plan to spend 4 years of his presidency taking everyone to court for slander or libel?”

I certainly hope so, because it is ABOUT DAMN TIME that we stop bending over and taking it.

“You mean to tell me ANY news organization can basically attribute anything to a candidate? “

Yep. The law is designed to keep candidates from using the courts to suppress the truth about a candidate but in effect means that almost anything can be said as long as it is not a threat. It also means the press can lie if they want to

>>>After what he alleged about Cruz’s dad being an associate of Oswald?<<<

Donald Trump published that Photo and wrote the attached story? I wasn’t aware of that.

Where did he publish it, Trump Magazine?

NYT and the rest of the MSM have gone "Dan Rather" with their fake-but-accurate "reporting".

Hilarious that one of their interviewees outed them for twisting a courteous 'fling" into some diabolical ogre of a woman hater/abuser...

So basically a Repub. candidate is at a disadvantage being that most of the media is leftist. Unreal, and then we wonder why all these crooks get elected.
