On Tuesday, O'Donnell reported that President Trump had received loans from Deutsche Bank co-signed by"Russian billionaires close to Vladimir Putin." O'Donnell cited"a source close to Deutsche Bank" but told viewers the story had not been vetted by NBC News and was"going to require a lot more verification."
Those comments led to a letter from Trump's attorneys threatening legal action if the network did not"immediately and prominently retract, correct and apologize for the aforementioned false and defamatory statements." , attorney Charles Harder said"failure to do so will leave my clients with no alternative but to consider their legal options which could include immediate legal proceedings against Mr. O’Donnell and NBCU."
