US President Donald Trump threatened the “New York Times” with a lawsuit. Trump accused the renowned daily newspaper in his online service Truth Social on Wednesday that he had reported wrongly about his legal dispute with the paramount media group. He therefore checked a lawsuit about unauthorized influence by the sheet.
Trump had sued the CBS transmitter belonging to Paramount before his election victory in early November. It was about an interview with the democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the well -known news program “60 Minutes”. Today’s president accuses CBS of subsequently dealing with a confuse answer from Harris on the Gaza War’s topic in order to hide their “word salad”. Trump speaks of “election fraud”. CBS rejects the allegations.
The “New York Times” had reported that many legal experts considered Trump’s lawsuit to be unfounded and it may fail in court for reasons of freedom of the press. There is an out -of -court comparison with Paramount.
Trump accuses Times illegal behavior
Trump, on the other hand, wrote that his case was a “true winner”. CBS had to pay for his “illegal” approach, “and the Times should also fidget on the hook for its probably illegal behavior,” he wrote on Truth.
The long -time producer of the news program “60 Minutes”, Bill Owen, had announced his withdrawal from the post a week ago and justified this with Trump’s approach to the independence of the media.
The President has covered numerous media with lawsuits and regularly insults journalists during appearances as a widened of “fake news”. Trump-loyal blogger and podcaster, on the other hand, have privileged access to the White House.
