Former President Donald Trump threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against CNN over its usage of the term “Big Lie” and “lying” when reporting on his challenges to the 2020 election.

A notice of intent to bring civil action was sent by Trump’s lawyers to CNN, including new President Chris Licht and Executive Vice President David Vigilante. The notice demands that CNN publish a retraction, correction, or an apology.
