Donald Trump sues CNN claiming defamation, seeks $475M
Former president Donald Trump sued CNN for defamation on Monday, seeking $475 million in punitive damages and claiming that the network had carried out a “campaign of libel and slander” against him.
Trump claims in his lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., that the network had used its influence as a leading news organization to defeat him politically.
CNN declined to comment on the case.
Trump, a Republican, claims in the 29-page lawsuit that CNN had a long track record of criticizing him but had ramped up its attacks in recent months because the network feared that he would run again for president in 2024.
“As a part of its concerted effort to tilt the political balance to the left, CNN has tried to taint the Plaintiff with a series of ever-more scandalous, false, and defamatory labels of ‘racist,’ ‘Russian lackey,’ ‘insurrectionist,’ and ultimately ‘Hitler,'” the lawsuit claims.

True but not as president. Let Desantis be pres and let Trump be the attack dog. He’s unfortunately not able to win suburban women and he’ll do better in other roles

And then the case will come before a clinton or Obama appointed judge who will throw the case out of court.
CNN attacks Trump to help the Democrats that’s for sure.
Why shouldn’t Trump fight back with a lawsuit to counter CNN’s carrying water for the Democrats.
Cnn made plenty of unprovable allegations after Trump was out of office. I would guess Trump has the receipts. Good way to eliminate cnn for good.
It’s about damn time that the democrats are put on their heels.
I'm fully confident Trump will win a third time should he decide to run.
A trump judge will too.
I’d support trump again but he won’t win, he’s way too toxic with white suburban women. Plus Trump is better without the responsibility, he can be himself
Jen bush isn’t popular with anyone. Desantis is Trump, but more polished and less baggage. And Trump can still do his thing
David was unpolished, Solomon was all refinement.
David was not the first King, but he was best at it. Kings fight, and they slay enemies. We do not need Solomon right now, we desperately need David.
Trump I don’t think would be better because he choose poorly for 4 years for every position. And he won’t be re-elected at any rate
