Former President Donald Trump speaks at a rally, Friday, Sept. 23, 2022, in Wilmington, N.C. NEW YORK — Former Presidenton Monday sued CNN, seeking $475 million in damages, saying the network had defamed him in an effort to short-circuit any future political campaign.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, focuses primarily on the term “The Big Lie” about Trump’s false claims of widespread fraud that he says cost him the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden.Trump repeatedly attacked CNN as president, which resonated with his conservative followers. He has similarly filed lawsuits against big tech companies with little success. His case against Twitter for knocking him off its platform following the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S.
IF ever he’s back, DELAY DELAY DELAY is his tactics if any policies do not make money for him AND his family members. NOT YOU.
Cry me a river donnie you done.
Right-wing pal/new owner of CNN has probably already arranged with Trump to settle this in a way that legitimizes Trump and advances CNN as the new right wing go-to network.
He's grasping at straws to use the winnings to pay his other lawyers for other charges against him.
Discovery process will be interesting then.
He should sue AP, as well! Why do you have to write the term 'falsely claims'? It should be just 'claims'! Your reporters never reviewed the evidence Trump has and just because all the liberal media says the same thing, doesn't means it's true!
That's probably the amount of money he owes one of his creditors and figures this is the way to pay it off. But then he'll use it for something else.
“Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.”
When you're an elected official you're open for criticism and ridicule especially when you act like an escape mental patient, and didn't he just call McConnell's wife some very nasty words?
Lawyers need their money upfront before touching this one!! 🤣🤣
why does he laser focus on CNN - it's not the only network reporting his misdeeds - he's fixated
yes, they should stop broadcasting the exact words he says in order to prevent the defamation and dissemination of lies.
fucktrump
Demand an immediate move to discovery. Up to Trump to prove they are lying, and CNN can ask for evidence. Should be fun!
Love this move by Trump. LOLOL! Get paid, bruh...just like the Covington High School kid got paid, and just like Kyle Rittenhouse will get paid.
He might as well make that a class action and bring suit against the majority of voters in the country who say the same. Stick a fork in him, he's done.
TRUMP HAS NO FUTURE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN THOUGH,IT’S ONLY A NOTHER GRIFT FOR FUNDS TO PAY HIS LAWYERS FOR ALL THE UPCOMING COURT CASES AGAINST HIM FOR HIS CORRUPTION OF AMERICA & ALL IT’S CITIZENS.!!!!
JournoWes 😂
what a nutcase...lock him up...
Treasonous traitor lol
Really though the lawsuit is only worth $100 million.
The walking Toilet needs total media black out
Traitors don't get future political campaigns.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Desperation on all fronts 😂
Trump is such a snowflake
He’s what we refer to in Australia as a “grub”
You do understand that, as a public figure, Trump has to prove actual malice in addition to damages, right? He cannot do so. This lawsuit is merely a publicity stunt. And you're playing along.
Help me, I am a victim. Let me be your president.
Trump provides his own defamation every time he opens his repulsive mouth. TrumpForPrison
🤣
Gotta try for a quick cash to pay for his sham of defense for being a traitor to our country by selling secrets to shady friends.
475 Millions not 4.75 billion... why so low maybe he looking to pay off his lawyers fee and fuel for his PJ to go do more rallies on he needs more money to get him back in power but also 'he never left the white house because he move the white house to Mar-a-lago', Q+ drop box
Who's gonna pay for it, Trump?
That the name of his tailor, Defamation Suits?
Snore.
🤪😄🤪
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dude’s drowning in the bullshit
soft
TimModise If reporting on and discussing what paedo don says and does is “defamation” then there is a bigger problem at Mar a paedo and the trump crime family HQ than we realize.
VegasVisions Everything they said was true .
VegasVisions Were they too busy laughing to respond?
CNN is trying to short-circuit any future political campaign by the former president? 𝐼 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑤𝑛.
Hes broke and needs the money.
tossed off. tossed out.
Is this gonna be a fake victory conservatives claim he won and became a multimillionaire like Kyle Rittenhouse or Nick Sandmann if CNN settles for 400,000 before taxes? 🤣
Hmmm...the grift must be drying up.
69% of American court time is now taken up by Donald Trump lawsuits.
Buckle up I’m sure you clowns will also be in court as well w your B.S!
$475 million? Is he claiming this is how much he would have made from an otherwise successful presidential run? I'd like to see the case for that being laid out without admitting to some seriously shady stuff.
This dude here.
All CNN has to do is run the tapes of his speeches. CNN should counter sue.
About time. Long overdue
Who are the lucky lawyers who will be stiffed when they give Trump a bill after his new loss?
Lol
When you are broke AF and have no clue what to do for living from now on…
“I’m going to run for president and CNN is going to pay for it”
DoA reason, freedom of speech. He should know that lmao 😂
CNN Countersuing for $1 each time Trump called them Fake News. Its a wash.
Ha! Coming from the guy who called them fake news, threatened their reporters at rallies and has no facts to dispute what was said by CNN. The Trump gold continues to tarnish with everything he says & does. He has become the world hopeless fool
CNN is shifting towards Fox in the past couple of months....
Trump is a joke.
They're too busy laughing their heads off. What a hypocrite.
Well this is proof that CNN. is effectively siphoning off Fox viewers.
Little Donnie got his fee-fees hurt
CNN is trying so hard to get right leaning voters and they are still being sued by this conman. What a joke.
He’s not gonna win that case. What a twerp.
475 million is probably how much debt he is in
Bring on the discovery!
Didn’t he talk shit about CNN throughout his entire presidency?
CNN’s lawyers comment:
CNN finally released a comment:
He’s doing it well all by himself with no one’s help. Maybe he should sue GA DA, NY AG, DOJ or FBI. He will probably have better luck.
Lolololol. Awesome. This will drive libs crazy.
Sounds like another scam to get his followers to give him more money... wait for the campaign emails urging money to sue 'fake news' CNN
Is the $475 million what he anticipated he was going to make if reelected? If so, he needs to take lessons from Jared and Ivanka. They made $640 million while in the WH and then $2 billion after leaving.
‘Because they were laughing too hard’
Diversion, stupidity. Trump
The CNN executive who sacked the neutral reporters in favor of Trump supporters over the couple of months likely knew this Trump lawsuit was coming. The executive will settle with Trump.
My comment would be more astute if I could stop laughing. Suffice to say, with around 3,000 lawsuits threatened and either not filed or won, CNN has nothing to worry about.
Lol
Trump should sue anyone who tries to smear him. , you better keep your activists writers in check.
disclosure
He did so after his far right buddy bought the network. Trump doesn’t like news that reports the truth.
I hear CNN has gotten worse, but probably not enough to actually lose a defamation suit. This will fail hard.
Of all the lies he made, fraudulent individual he is, and well, who knows what, he still have the guts to file a lawsuit? Wow,wow,wow!!!
Running out of other people’s money?
Free speech advocate?
This will be a fun one for Trump’s lawyers to prove…Trump lies more than Tommy Flanagan.
Blaming CNN for his self-inflicted wounds seems just a bit disingenuous even for TFG.
DISCOVERY!!
Defamation lol.
Of course he did…. Thats all he knows how to do.
Loan payment must be due
Uh huh...🙄...I really can't understand how he continues to get dumber and dumber. So, he is trying to sue because of the big lie he told to millions of his supporters that then decided to storm the Capitol of the United States? Can't wait for the judge to laugh at his lawyers.
Clown
What he does best... Imagine a life full of lawsuits. Just constantly filing lawsuits.
Waiting for a massive waves of civil suits to be brought against fox “news” by surviving family of people who got brainwashed by their garbage, refused vaccinations and died from Covid. Oh, and stop giving attention to this corpulent clown.
Haha…ok. Again…discovery would be AMAZING
How is he still finding lawyers to plead his case in exchange for no pay, loss of reputation & deep long lasting regrets?
😂😂 oh dear Donald,,desperate times call for desperate measures! It couldn’t happen to anyone nicer lol
Which attorneys aren't getting paid for this suit?
Lol, this will get thrown out in 10 minutes at Discovery lol.
No he’s doing that himself. We don’t want him.
Who will liar, sore loser, traitor Trump sue next Anybody who charges him with the wave of crimes that are coming
Another trump lawsuit. How many is it now? 12,742?
Not making enough grifting off his MAGAts?
😂🤣😅
How dare cnn talk about all my crimes and tax evasion , pending lawsuits and possible indictments.
The whining is exhausting. Let him sue and beg his followers for money
Orange people sue you for stupid shit 🤨
FREE SPEECH lol
Like FoxNews has been doing to every Democratic politician since it's inception? Ad one more loss to his laundry list of legal failures.
Laughs with nick sandman and Kyle rittenhouse. CNN sucks
It will go nowhere. Lawyers won’t get paid. What’s new?
Haha. What a looser.
Trump made his entire political career out of insulting people lmao what even is this💀
Fox Lite battling the guy they are trying to please.
Lol it’s truly hilarious bc they actually love him
475 million, that's about the amount of lies trump has told in the last few years
Republicans care about power not abortion. It's a wedge issue.
I thought that one couldn't sue if the content is factual - and his character and behaviour do indeed bear several similarities to Hitler.
*LMFAO* what? he doesn't have a reputation, well maybe lying and cheating his way through life ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stop making marketing on this person 🙂
I give his legal team on this a week before they realize he’s not going to pay them and then 💨
You’re next AP.
CNN is laughing their assess off
After they were done laughing at it, the CNN lawyers went out for drinks.
He doesn't know how any of this works.
Trump and Herschel Walker 2025
Awww...and they JUST started to embrace him!
Won’t last three months.
Awww, the poor, thin-skinned fascist needs attention… TraitorTrump
Hmmmm. 🤔🤔 By telling the truth Do you see the irony here?
Literal man baby 🤣
