EXCLUSIVE: The Trump campaign filed a libel lawsuit against the Washington Post for “millions of dollars” on Tuesday for publishing “false and defamatory statements” about an alleged conspiracy with Russia.
The complaint obtained by Fox News was filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. by attorneys David C. Tobin and Charles J. Harder. It points to a pair of Post articles published in June 2019 that included statements tying the Trump campaign to foreign campaign interference.
The statements were and are 100 percent false and defamatory. The complaint alleges The Post was aware of the falsity at the time it published them, but did so for the intentional purpose of hurting the campaign, while misleading its own readers in the process,” Senior Legal Adviser to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. Jenna Ellis said in a statement, adding the Post reported “a conspiracy” as a fact.
The complaint claims that Greg Sargent’s June 13 article, “Trump just invited another Russian attack. Mitch McConnell is making one more likely,” contained the defamatory statement that Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Trump’s campaign “tried to conspire with” a “sweeping and systematic” attack by Russia during the 2016 election.
The complaint called the remark “false and defamatory,” noting that the opposite is actually true. 
“The Mueller Report concluded there was no conspiracy between the Campaign and the Russian government, and no United States person intentionally coordinated with Russia’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election,” the complaint said.
A second Post article by Paul Waldman that was published on June 20 headlined, “Trump: I can win reelection with just my base,” included the comment, “Who knows what sort of aid Russia and North Korea will give to the Trump campaign, now that he has invited them to offer their assistance?”
The complaint said that this observation is also “false and defamatory” because there “has never been any statement by anyone associated with the Campaign or the administration ‘inviting’ Russia or North Korea to assist the campaign in 2019 or beyond.”
The Trump campaign feels the Post was “well aware at the time of publishing the foregoing statements that they were not true” but published then anyway.
Trump is certainly acting in a manner in syncwith his demented and totally dishonest character. Why exactly anyone would believe anything Trump lets pass through his gaping maw is an absolute mystery to a thinking person who values honesty and decency. All one should needs to know is that he has amassed a record of over 15,000 lies as of December 10, 2019. An average of almost 20 lies per day. Certainly a record any sane person would consider completely unacceptable for ANYONE, let alone the president of the USA. Trump knows he can get away with iot because he knows hjis stooges and cultists will stand by him regardless of his of honesty.

  1. Trump's modus operandi has always included a great deal of suing.
    His little mind thinks that when he lies and gets caught, he has
    been slandered. His little mind also tends to slander others
    routinely..but those normal folks haven't the billions to pester
    him in court. Such are the peculiar times.
    Anyone but Trump.

    1. So true. How or why this doesn't matter at all with his stooges and cultists is astonishing. Trump won in 2016 by dividing the country along every possible metric. Manipulating and lying at every turn to keep his minority base stirred up and in the dark believing his bullsh*t. Apparently 35-40% of this nation is ignorant of history. Willfully so or otherwise.

      ABSOLUTELY ANYBODY BUT TRUMP!
