Donald Trump sues CNN claiming defamation, seeks $475M

The lawsuit also claims that CNN has used such defamatory labels against him as “racist,” “Russian lackey,” “insurrectionist” and “Hitler.”

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.

The lawsuit lists several instances in which CNN appeared to compare Trump to Hitler, including a January 2022 special report by host Fareed Zakaria that included footage of the German dictator.

Trump, who in 2020 lost a re-election bid to Democrat Joe Biden, has not said whether he would seek re-election.

The lawsuit comes as the 76-year-old former president faces considerable legal woes, including a criminal investigation by the Justice Department for retaining government records at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021.

Trump was sued last month by New York state Attorney General Letitia James, who has accused him of lying to banks and insurers over the value of his assets.

And a congressional committee is investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, focusing on the former president’s role in the attack.

Since the left has been using false rape alligations for years now...

I don't belive it.

Also shit like this is why I was furious that the liers who defamed Kav were not charged with pergury, that wasn't mercy that was weakness, and its going to come back to haunt every one until we treat false accusers just as badly as we treat rapists.

Yeah, who could ever believe Mr wanders into women's locker rooms "Grab 'em by the pussy" could ever be a sexual predator?

Also, Kavanaugh was only cleared by virtue of enjoying possibly the most perfunctory "investigation" in FBI history, not only failing to even interview the target of the investigation, but actively refusing to hear from over two dozen corroborating witnesses.

I am supposed to believe they guy they had the FBI and Deep State fake not one but TWO conspiracies about conspiracy with a foreign power had a credible rape accusation and they just ignored it? Nah nah nah. Given the caliber of his enemies and their resources if Trump had raped anyone they would have already gotten him long ago.

Also you and I remember Kavanaugh really differently. The entire thing was a "she said it so it must be true" down to a complete lack of any evidence it happened, witnesses, not even a fucking time it was supposed to have happened.

The democrats have had more than enough time to conduct thier own inquiry, either through congress or as a private matter, interviewing anyone they want. They haven't, even though doing so would clear the road to an impeachment if they found anything, and surely one of thier billionaire mega donors can foot the bill for a few PIs.

Given that they've not even bothered to try, it seems likely that they passed on doing so because they know this is what everyone else concluded it was, a completely non-credible attempt to torpedo the nomination.

That first bit is some truly special logic. Also, maybe you didn't read anything at all on the case? Coz, it's been ongoing since 2019. She's actually going after him for libel for calling her a liar about it, rather than for the act itself. Also, that Russia attempted to meddle in the election in various ways is well documented and pretty much universally accepted. As National Security Agency staffer Fiona Hill declared, “Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016. This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan congressional reports. It is beyond dispute, even if some of the underlying details must remain classified." That trump associates had repeated, lengthy and clandestine contact with russian actors and intermediaries is also pretty much beyond dispute. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_between_Trump_associates_and_Russian_officials#:~:text=By April 19, 2019, The,2016 campaign and presidential transition."

And that would actually be us remembering Kavanaugh the same, but you failing to see or learn anything beyond the absolute minimum. Yes, no witnesses were presented. Because the FBI were not permitted to actually do any meaningful investigation. They were in fact prevented from interviewing relavant witnesses that were lined up and ready to go. Indeed, some even went as far as to try and present themselves to the FBI when they became aware. They have spoken publicly about the official disregard, and that also is a matter of public record.

I would disagree with how strongly it implies anything when other plausible explanations are available ranging from less likely, such as concern for the image and reputation of a prestigious institution, to more likely such as fear of the damage it would cause to impartiality if they did try and still failed, or political fallout from Repulicans spinning it as a double jeopardy witch hunt with low information voters.

Keep in mind the actual requirements for impeachment, and ask yourself honestly if any level of proof would actually change some people's minds.

You're talking about the same party that's constantly arguing for court packing and ranting about the illegitimate supreme court and how Garland has a SC stolen from him. It's ludicrous to propose that those same people are so concerned about the court's impartiality (an impartiality they constantly say doesn't exist, BTW), that they're refusing to even quietly investigate these allegedly credible allegations against a sitting justice.

The entire thing was theater to fire up the dems own "low information voters", to use your charming terminology, and as obvious as that was at the time it's painfully clear now.

Keep in mind the actual requirements for impeachment, and ask yourself honestly if any level of proof would actually change some people's minds.

Plenty of elected officials in both parties have been kicked out once actual proof of misconduct comes to light, on both sides. Yes, there's diehard partisan who will always back thier side no matter what, but enough to survive hard evidence of an actual crime? No.

 

[Battlegrinder]

Also, that Russia attempted to meddle in the election in various ways is well documented and pretty much universally accepted.

That word "attempted" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Did Russia get involved and try to swing things toward Trump/away from Hilary/generally sow chaos? Yes, that's known.

Did they actually have any meaningful success doing so, which is what democrats were constantly screaming about how Trump was a Russia puppet....no. Or at least, not that anyone can prove.

As National Security Agency staffer Fiona Hill declared, “Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016. This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan congressional reports. It is beyond dispute, even if some of the underlying details must remain classified."

The idea that our democracy is under attack is dubious, given that when most people say that they mean "the democrats might lose a free a fair election", but to the extent there are real problems with our political system, blaming Russia is a cheap way to avoid looking in the mirror.

Right, it was Russia that forced Comey to reopen the email investigation on the eve of the investigation, and they also trickec McConnell into blocking Obama's SC nominee to rally GOP support behind Trump. I bet they also hacked in the comedy central servers and rewrote all of Stewarts scripts to trick his viewer into becoming a bunch of hyper partisan, terminally online dolts that think ranting on twitter avout the other party being evil is how to win elections.

Political leadership constantly being power tripping idiots trying to force thier their agenda despite having narrow support bases and vehement opposition from the other side? Russia did it.

Major planks of both party platforms being based on flat out lies? Russia did it.

The entire media becoming a DNC propaganda arm, in term alienating everyone outside that group and leaving ample room for bad actors to snatch up viewers? Also Russia, somehow.

That trump associates had repeated, lengthy and clandestine contact with russian actors and intermediaries is also pretty much beyond dispute. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_between_Trump_associates_and_Russian_officials#:~:text=By April 19, 2019, The,2016 campaign and presidential transition."

Wikipedia, really? Why don't you just link directly to Vox or some other rag, someone that at least admits to being hyperpartisan shills for the left?

"Russia interfered on the election" is not the same as "Trump conspired to do it"

Oh please, I've heard roudier locker room talk and exchanged pillow talk that would have given a sailor pause worse than that.

Also, Kavanaugh "was cleared" because all of the witnesses called up to smear his character admitted that Ford was lying her ass off. The worst thing I recall from that travesty was "He likes to drink beer!"

yeah Ford really should have been put in prison for purgery for that.

Like I said it was a bad decision not to prosicute her but its a decision that can be fixed, and honestly she's just one person of many on a very long list that needs to face justice. We got a whole lot of rioters, the leaders of BLM who were up to shenanigans lots of people who got away with no punishment because they were members of the left.

Maybe after getting some of their own back they will be less assholish.

Trump fucked a porn star and then she had to pay him.

That's low key hilarious.

Could we sic the IRS on the leaders of BLM? Unreported income is a crime and illegal funds are taxable.

It's incredibly hard to prosecute for cases like that. It's ultimately a he-said she-said. You have to prove the lie beyond a reasonable doubt, which won't happen unless she admits it. It's unproveable one way or another. I highly doubt she's telling the truth, but it isn't unreasonable to believe that she could be telling the truth.

No real point, and just puts a spotlight on the supreme court when we don't want one.

there is also the outside possibility that she was assaulted but she identified the wrong person after being led on (and lowkey gaslighted) by interrogators and prosecutors. Happens way more than you think. the human memory is very fallible and easily manipulated it's why eyewitnesses are actually a terrible form of evidence. And I Can't possibly think of a reason for why liberal prosecutors would want to lead her into saying (and thinking) Kavanaugh was the one who done it.
