Trump campaign sues CNN

Let's hope CNN has journalistic malpractice insurance.

First this: The Democrat objective? Absolute power


Thomas Lifson
The Lanham Act (text here) is a 1946 law mostly about protection of trademarks but also including false advertising, so I assume that CNN allegedly is representing itself as a news source when it is in fact shown to be a propaganda operation by the Project Veritas videos, would be the basis of the lawsuit.  The harm that the Trump campaign experienced from CNN's false reporting, misrepresented to the public as "news," would be the basis for damages.

"Trump War Room :  BREAKING: Trump campaign lawyer notifies CNN of intent to file legal action against the network.

"Your actions are in violation of the Lanham Act, among other applicable laws, by constituting misrepresentations to the public, to your advertisers, and others."




See letter by attorney Charles Harder sent to President Jeff Zucker and EVP David Vigilante on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.

      1.  Oct 18
        "Recently released video footage of individuals alleged to be your employees ... indicates that your reporting related to President Trump is contrary to your own mission and the aforementioned Code of Ethics."

      2.  Oct 18
        "Your own employees appear to state that CNN is focused on trying to 'take down President Trump,' driven by a 'personal vendetta' that Mr. Zucker purportedly has against him, rather than reporting the news in an objective manner."
