Chief Executive Vows to Stop ‘Far-Left Media’ Following Initiating NYT Lawsuit
Following the filing of a multibillion-dollar $15 billion lawsuit versus the prominent newspaper, the head of state vowed to halt what he described as the “radical left media” from damaging the nation.
Digital Network Statement
On his digital channel Truth Social, the chief executive remarked that he had received “overwhelming” feedback on the lawsuit.
“The main sentiment seems to be, ‘FINALLY!’ he wrote. “The Radical Left Media is attempting to destroy the nation. Our administration plans to block them completely!!!”
Court Claims
Through legal action lodged in a Florida jurisdiction, the public figure has alleged the outlet of publishing “misleading and harmful” content regarding him.
Response from the Newspaper
A media contact for the newspaper commented: “This case has no merit. It does not contain any valid grounds and in fact represents an effort to intimidate and hinder independent reporting. We will not be intimidated by threats. We will persist to investigate the facts without fear or favour and stand up for writers’ constitutional protection.”
History
This legal action marks the most recent in a string of massive legal claims the president has launched against US media outlets following his comeback to the presidency.
