    ROFLOL I guess you just can't ever have too many lawsuits going
    on at the same time. #45 must have gotten bored after his lawsuit
    against Hillary was tossed out of court. So, another day--another lawsuit.

    TOPLINE Former President Donald Trump sued CNN for defamation Monday,
    arguing the cable network has unfairly attacked him in recent years,
    marking the latest in a series of post-presidency lawsuits filed by
    Trump against his perceived enemies.

    KEY FACTS
    The lawsuit—which was filed in federal court and sought $475 million in punitive damages—accused CNN of carrying out a “smear campaign” that has “only escalated in recent months as CNN fears [Trump] will run for
    president in 2024.”

    The filing complains about a range of negative characterizations of
    Trump on CNN’s airwaves and website, including a 2020 article that said
    the ex-president had “repeated racist talking points” and a January
    special report that discussed threats to American democracy and Adolf Hitler’s rise to power (the lawsuit acknowledged CNN host Fareed Zakaria explicitly stated “Donald Trump is not Adolf Hitler” in the special report)."
