Not 100% sure but pretty sure you can’t sue the POTUS.
TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.
He didn’t say anything that we ‘American witnesses’ could see with our own eyes.
Typical liberal censorship.
Discovery on that one should be LOADS of fun!!
Wow. The MSM has completely lost it. The ultimate meltdown.
They wouldn’t survive discovery...

How can you sue someone for being truthful?
Go ahead. Discovery will be fun.

Freedom of speech - do you really need a lawyer to express an opinion?

I just researched it. They can’t be sued for “job related” events but stuff that happened outside of the job are fair game.
