The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit against the New York Times alleging the paper committed libel when the paper knowingly published false information about the President in an op-ed in 2019.

According to The Hill:
President Trump's ree******n campaign is suing The New York Times for libel, claiming that the newspaper knowingly published false information about the president in an op-ed last year.

The lawsuit, filed in New York State Supreme Court on Wednesday, accuses the Times of intentionally defaming Trump with an op-ed claiming that his 2016 campaign had an "overarching deal" with Russia.

"The statements were and are 100 percent false and defamatory," Jenna Ellis, a lawyer for the campaign, said in a statement.

"The complaint alleges The Times was aware of the falsity at the time it published them, but did so for the intentional purpose of hurting the campaign, while misleading its own readers in the process,” Ellis added.
The ability to sue media organizations for libel or defamation is difficult for public officials and Trump will have to prove the statements were made with "actual malice."

Oddly, I seem to recall CONSTANT complaints from Republicans about Obama.

The suit is simply a nuisance suit that will be dropped as soon as lawyers for the Times subpoena the Trump organization for financial records in the discovery process. This is done strictly so the dumber cult members can be misled to believe Trump is being picked on, when in reality the press is simply holding him accountable. To make the suit even more ridiculous it is over an opinion piece not a news story.

Accord! Maybe a huge verdict against the NY Times (and other hard-left rags) might get their attention so they quit indiscriminately publishing blatant lies about all things Trump.

thebigp: How much more could "they" need, Kind Sir? Trump has had himself investigated from top to
bottom for years? AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, ALL OF OBAMA'S RECORDS ARE SEALED...ALL OF THEM, KIND SIR!
I have followed politics quite closely for quite awhile..NOT during his sick 8 years did you see the kind
of stuff that the DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE...A FALSE IMPEACHMENT...WHISTLEBLOWER NOT BEING KNOWN
ETC.? Did you see anyone tear up Obama's speech in front of the nation? Did you see such anger day
after day and attack a Supreme Court Nominee like Kavanaugh and displayed to the nation of the h**e
that they had? ….the women that "floated through" Obama's nominations...please enlighten me.
….Not while Obama was in office do I recall...come up with it and post it. I would like to be corrected.
I need to know how much better that Obama's Castro loving Bernie is now and how Obama instigated
Cuba as our friend. The world is waiting and I will apologize if I have missed it.

Kev, now that's a knee-slapper if I ever heard one! Where do you come up with this crap? Where have you been hibernating? The Times has been known for being a left-wing rag for years - maybe forever. I'll admit, you surprised me with that one. I didn't think even you were crazy enough to invent that kind of insanity.

okie don

Times ultra left leaning for years.
Need to have their hands slapped and return to fair balanced investigative news reporting. Not biased f**e crap.
