Well, well, well, so Trump threatens to sue CNN:
"Accordingly, I hereby demand on behalf of President Donald Trump that CNN (1) immediately take down the false and defamatory publications, (2) immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the statements identified herein in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published, and (3) immediately cease and desist from its continued use of 'Big Lie' and 'lying' when describing President Trump’s subjective belief regarding the integrity of the 2020 election," said the letter from Trump's lawyers.
In other words, he is now using the Costanza Defense:
I also find it interesting that another great Huckster Alex Jones was using the same defense in his defamation trail but alas for him the judge in the case was having none of it.
To put the cherry on the top now Trump is using this threat to sue CNN (my money is he never files anything) to raise money.
“I’m calling on my best and most dedicated supporters to add their names to stand with me in my impending lawsuit against fake news CNN,” wrote Trump. “Add your name immediately to show your support for my upcoming lawsuit against fake news CNN.” The email concluded with a link to Trump’s online donation portal.
The Trump Con Continues.
