This IS right in line with Trump entertainment background….
His lawyer HAD to have told him the case won’t have a prayer…
As President?
Donald J. Trump IS a public figure…
THAT means people and media CAN go above the level of individual ‘s in saying things about him in public…
No case…
But this HAS to be an outlet for a guy looking to have the media cow-tow to his wishes….
It isn’t gonna work…
Actually?
The accusation Trump’s lawyers use a base…Cooperation between Trump’s 2016 campaign members and the Russians has some truth to it the Mueller Report has stated…
It gets better….
Trump’s campaign is actually fundraising off of the Mueller Report conclusions which Trump has tried to disavowal…
A spokesperson for the paper pushed back forcefully against the suit and expressed confidence that the Times would ultimately prevail on First Amendment grounds.
“The Trump Campaign has turned to the courts to try to punish an opinion writer for having an opinion they find unacceptable,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Fortunately, the law protects the right of Americans to express their judgments and conclusions, especially about events of public importance. We look forward to vindicating that right in this case.”
The suit contends that because of the editorial, Trump’s campaign has been forced “and will continue to force” its operatives to “expend funds on corrective advertisements and to otherwise publicize the fact that the campaign did not collude with, have a deal with, or have a ‘quid pro quo’ with Russia regarding the 2016 election.”
While the lawsuit complained that the Trump campaign is forced to counter the claims made in the op-ed, the president’s reelection team has advertised and fundraised significantly off the Mueller report, reportedly raising more than $1 million in the 24 hours after its release.
The lawsuit doesn’t name a dollar amount the campaign is looking to recoup in damages, saying the sum will be proved at trial. But the campaign estimates the total to be in the millions, and is also asking for payment to cover attorneys fees and costs….
