Trump Campaign Sues The New York Times Over Op-Ed

Claims NYT's piece was 'defamatory'

The reelection campaign for President Donald Trump is suing The New York Times over an opinion piece that ran in March of last year.

The piece, written by Max Frankel, executive editor of the Times from 1986 to 1994, focused on the reported dealings between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.

“President Trump has watered down the sanctions and otherwise appeased Russian interests, even at the expense of America’s allies,” Frankel wrote.

The complaint, filed in New York, claims the op-ed contains “false and defamatory statements.”
