A federal judge on Friday dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against CNN in which the former president said the network defamed him by associating him with Adolf Hitler.
In one article, Cillizza wrote that Trump “continued to push the Big Lie that the election was somehow stolen despite there being zero actual evidence to back up that belief.” But those references did not rise to the level of defamation, according to Singhal’s order.
“CNN’s use of the phrase ‘the Big Lie’ in connection with Trump’s election challenges does not give rise to a plausible inference that Trump advocates the persecution and genocide of Jews or any other group of people,” the judge wrote. “No reasonable viewer could plausibly make that reference.”raised the bar for what could be legally considered defamation against a public figure, solidifying
the precedent that a statement about a public figure must be false and its publisher must have acted with “actual malice” for it to be found defamatory. Trump asked Singhal to reconsider the precedent-setting case, which the judge said he couldn’t do, despite misgivings he has about it.Sullivan“The problem is essentially two-fold. First, the complained of statements are opinion, not factually false statements, and therefore are not actionable,” he wrote of the CNN lawsuit.
