US President Donald Trump has launched lawsuits claiming damages against several media outlets. Days before the presidential election, Trump’s lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik issued a letter to the New York Times and Penguin Random House that demanded $10 billion in damages over articles critical of Trump.

The letter, revealed by Columbia Journalism Review, accused the publications of “false and defamatory statements” about Trump, adding that the New York Times is a “a full-throated mouthpiece of the Democratic party” that wages “industrial-scale libel against political opponents”. https://advanced-televisio...
