Trump Campaign Sues Another Publisher Over Op-Ed Coverage

Latest defamation suit targets The Washington Post

Nearly a week after the campaign to reelect President Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, his lawyers are taking another media organization to court.

This time, the reelection campaign is filing a complaint against The Washington Post over what it claims are “false and defamatory” statements published in op-eds.

Similar to the lawsuit against the Times, the Post complaint references opinion-based pieces: “Trump just invited another Russian attack. Mitch McConnell is making one more likely,” and “Trump: I can win reelection with just my base.”
