MSNBC host Lawrence ODonnell tried to weasel his way out of reporting fake news about President Trump colluding with Russian oligarchs, by apologizing on air Thursday night. However, Eric Trump says its too late, and warned ODonnell that he will face legal action over the slur.
ODonnell essentially did the bare minimum in an effort to avoid legal consequences, saying I should not have said it on-air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong to do so.
Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasnt ready for reporting. I repeated statements a single source told me about the presidents finances and loan documents with Deutsche Bank saying if trueas I discussed the information was simply not good enough, he said.

Most of the world has only heard the slanderous accusation. The Trump’s want to get their “REPLY” out there early, and on every possible venue. Let the whole world see FAKE NEWS get their butts kicked.....and POTUS be vindicated.
I don't recall them ever using the word "allegedly" when they reported the Russia lies for more than two years.
It won’t be.
Trump has a history of threatening to sue people and not following through.
Trump (young Trump) better be careful here.Why?
The guy owns hotels and buildings all over the world. He doesnt seem to be hiding them, they pretty much all have TRUMP in huge gold letters. Seems to me in about thirty minutes of sleuthing a person could estimate his worth to the nearest Billion. Only people like you and me are worth the cash in their pocket. As you know, no billionaire is sitting on a vault with billions in it. Your claim just doesnt make sense to me.
You can take it to the bank that ODonnell will never be sued.
If a single source can be the basis for a news story, editorial or commentary then virtually anything can be reported.
Absurd.
Do the Dan Rather thing. Push his nose into it so far that no one, including certain Congresswomen, will never, ever want to be caught even whispering such trash to a mediasnake.
If Trump doesn't file the law suit we'll know why.
Like I said, wake me when he does.
Hopefully maybe the media dolts will quit thinking their fake, lying news will just pass and be responsible for what they say. Not.
Not necessarily. If Trump produced the actual loan documents and they show there were no cosigners then that other documentation is not only irrelevant it is not reasonably likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. (the standard for discovery)
I understand your point. However, the issue is not wealth but claimed wealth. There is no denial that Trump is a wealthy man.
After more than 40 years as a subscriber, I cancelled my Forbes subscription because it deserted it’s conservative roots.
However in that time, every year they develop a list of American billionaires. They actually have employees dedicated to the study and development on the actual Trump wealth.
Forbes tells us that Trump and some others always argue that the number reported is significantly less than the actual number.
So, Trump has over the years publically stated his net worth and there was disagreement by the wealth slueths at Forbes. My statement was that the released tax returns could reveal less than Trump’s on record statements.
I hope it hurts the freak but I’m not holding my breath.
I heard a rumor that Lawrence O’Donnell was ready to declare bankruptcy - and that his mother worked as a street whore when Lawaence O’Donnell was young. Now, it’s only one source - but IF IT WAS TRUE IT WOULD BE A BOMBSHELL.
Ben Franklin disagreed with slander and libel laws and thought the victim had a right to go physically thrash the person, Evil Knevil did too!!
Trump should win, but in truth, it’s a very very difficult case to prove slander.
Presidents slandered every day. Best recourse firing but obviously nbc put the story on
Incorrect. It’s not a case of Trump having to prove a negative
