Center for American Progress faces $5B suit from Donald Trump for study on Nat'l Guard and crime
President Trump has opened a new front in his campaign to intimidate political foes, threatening a prominent liberal think tank with a $5 billion defamation lawsuit over a report concluding that his deployment of the National Guard to cities across the country has had little effect on reducing violent crime.
On Monday, one of Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers, Alejandro Brito, wrote a letter to the center warning that he would file the suit if the group did not fully retract the report, which was published on its website on July 13. The letter, viewed by The New York Times, was addressed to the group’s president and chief executive, Neera Tanden, a longtime Democratic official who served as a senior adviser to President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and to several of its board members.
Mr. Brito claimed that the report about the National Guard was full of malicious and false statements. He gave Ms. Tanden and members of her board until 5 p.m. on Friday to retract it and apologize to Mr. Trump.

Yeah, because Trunk’s other defamation lawsuits work out so well…
“ Judge Steven D. Merryday of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida dismissed the complaint four days after it was filed, saying it was unnecessarily lengthy and digressive.
The Times has defended the accuracy of the reporting and moved to dismiss the refiled lawsuit, arguing that the president failed to identify false or defamatory statements or to explain “what President Trump contends the truth to be.”
Apparently being unable to handle criticism isn’t grounds for a lawsuit.

Trump tends to act very agressive with suits like this one, until the other side files for discovery. Then he goes silent and files last minute appeals when discovery is due, or even has reduced the scope of a suit, hoping to avoid discovery on sensitive issues.
TACO!
