President Donald Trump said he is preparing to file a lawsuit against ABC News over what he described as 'false reporting.' No details on the specific coverage or timing of the suit were provided. Trump has previously threatened legal action against other media outlets.
President Donald Trump announced early Tuesday that he is preparing to sue ABC News over 'their false reporting,' without specifying which reports he was referring to or when the lawsuit would be filed. The statement came in a short post on his Truth Social platform. Trump has a history of threatening legal action against news organizations he accuses of biased or inaccurate coverage. Earlier this month, he vowed to expand a separate defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, accusing it of 'fake and fabricated facts' in its coverage of the Iran war. No legal filing against ABC has been reported as of this writing.
