(77WABC) — Former President Donald Trump notified CNN Wednesday of his intention to file a lawsuit against the network for “repeated defamatory statements.”
Ifrah Law, a Washington-based law firm, filed a notice of intent ordering the network — under a Florida statute 770.02 — to “publish a full and fair correction, apology, or retraction” in published pieces or broadcasts that allegedly made “false statements” about the former president. The notice warned that failure to issue an apology will result in a lawsuit.
Trump warned he will be suing other media outlets that have “defamed and defrauded the public” about the 2020 presidential election results.
The notice also accused CNN of allowing claims that Trump was “illegitimately elected” in the 2016 presidential election to go unchallenged.
