Campaign also filed lawsuits against the
Washington Post and the
New York Times recently over op-eds on
Russian interference
Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is suing
CNN for publishing an opinion piece that argued Trump did not stop
Russia from helping the campaign during the presidential election.
The libel lawsuit, filed in the US district court for the northern district of Georgia, argues that CNN published the story on the campaign’s Russia ties despite “an extensive record of statements from the campaign and the administration expressly disavowing any intention to seek Russian assistance”.
