Trump Campaign Sues New York Times For Libel Over 2019 Opinion Piece
claims that the article “selectively refers to previously-reported contacts between a Russian lawyer and persons connected with the campaign.”
The Trump campaign claims that the article “insinuates that these contacts must have resulted in a quid pro quo or a deal, and the defamatory article does not acknowledge that, in fact, there had been extensive reporting, including in The Times, that the meetings and contacts that the defamatory article refers to did not result in any quid pro quo or deal between the Campaign and Russia, or anyone connected with either of them.
A spokesperson for the Times said, “The Trump Campaign has turned to the courts to try to punish an opinion writer for having an opinion they find unacceptable. Fortunately, the law protects the right of Americans to express their judgments and conclusions, especially about events of public importance. We look forward to vindicating that right in this case.”
The campaign is represented by Charles Harder, who has represented Donald and Melania Trump in other legal threats and libel actions.
