Those cases were nonsense anyway.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump speaks at a news conference at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Dec. 16, 2024 in Palm Beach, Florida. In a news conference that went over an hour, Trump announced that SoftBank will invest over $100 billion in projects in the United States including 100,000 artificial intelligence related jobs and then took questions on Syria, Israel, Ukraine, the economy, cabinet picks, and many other topics.
The lawsuit says the interview was “deceptively doctored.” Trump seeks a jury trial and $10 billion — yes, billion — in damages. “This action concerns CBS’s partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public, and attempt to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party,” the complaint charged.
Trump has just filed a lawsuit for “brazen election interference” against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer, the Des Moines Register, and the newspaper’s parent company, Gannett. A poll they published shortly before the Nov. 5 election showed Harris leading Trump in Iowa by a margin of 47-44. That was wildly off from the actual results in the election. Trump won Iowa with 56% of the vote.
There have been more defamation lawsuits adding to the legal bills. In January, a New York jury ordered Trump to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll for defaming her by ridiculing her department-store rape accusation. Trump’s lawyers fared better against Stormy Daniels, who lost her defamation suit against the former president and was ordered to pay him $300,000 for his legal fees.
Then there are the law enforcement cases. Trump is appealing a New York judge’s ruling that he owes a fine of nearly half a billion dollars for overvaluing his real estate holdings to get better loan terms from a bank that wasn’t even complaining. Two federal criminal cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith, one in Washington, D.C., charging conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and one in Florida accusing Trump of taking “national security information” to Mar-a-Lago, have been dismissed because the Justice Department has a policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
