Judge throws out Trump’s defamation suit against CNN FMTNews FMTWorld
Donald Trump alleged that CNN’s use of the phrase ‘Big Lie’ to describe his claim of election fraud associated him with Adolf Hitler.
Trump, in the suit filed in a US district court in Florida in October, had alleged that the use of the phrase by the cable television news network associated the former US president with tactics used by Adolf Hitler. “There is no question that the statements made by CNN meet the publication requirement for defamation under Florida law,” Singhal said in his ruling.
“The complained of statements are opinion, not factually false statements, and therefore are not actionable,” Singhal said. “CNN’s statements, while repugnant, were not, as a matter of law, defamatory.In his defamation complaint, Trump said the network’s use of the phrase the “Big Lie” was a “deliberate effort by CNN to propagate to its audience an association between the plaintiff and one of the most repugnant figures in modern history.
