Donald Trump is suing major media outlets, including The New York Times and CBS, for a whopping $10 billion in damages. The lawsuit, filed in response to what Trump’s legal team claims are defamatory articles and biased reporting, accuses the outlets of engaging in malicious news distortion aimed at interfering with the election process.
This legal action targets what Trump describes as “industrial-scale libel,” claiming the media’s coverage has unfairly tarnished his business legacy and political ambitions. The suit argues that these outlets have participated in partisan voter interference, intentionally misrepresenting facts to influence public opinion.
The media outlets named, including CBS, have denied the accusations. CBS labeled the lawsuit as “completely without merit,” dismissing the claims as baseless. However, the sheer scale of the damages requested—a staggering $10 billion—signals Trump’s serious intent to hold the media accountable.
This lawsuit isn’t just about defamation. It’s about challenging media power and its impact on political processes. Trump aims to set a precedent in defending reputations against what he calls unlawful interference.
