News outlets tell Trump to pound sand over his latest lawsuit threats

The New York Times and CNN both immediately shut down President Donald Trump’s attempt on Thursday to intimidate them over their reporting on his strike against Iran.

An early assessment from the Department of Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency has indicated that the Iran strikes have not completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear program, as Trump has repeatedly claimed. CNN and The New York Times, along with other news outlets—even Fox News—have reported on the issue.

Trump threatened to sue the Times and CNN for reporting the news on this issue. His personal lawyer sent a letter demanding that the media “retract and apologize for” their reporting. The letter also argued that accurately reporting on the agency’s findings was “false,” “defamatory,” and “unpatriotic.”

The letter, however, failed to get the result Trump wanted.
