U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign sued CNN for libel, over an opinion piece that said the campaign had left open the possibility of seeking Russia’s help in the 2020 election.
The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Atlanta was the campaign’s third in 10 days accusing major media outlets of libel, following cases against The New York Times and the Washington Post.
All three lawsuits focused on opinion pieces published in 2019 that, according to the campaign, suggested it has had improper ties with Russia.
Trump has throughout his presidency battled news media he believes demonstrate bias against him. The Republican president often brands CNN, a unit of AT&T Inc as “fake news.”
