A judge on Thursday dismissed a libel lawsuit the Trump campaign had filed against CNN on the grounds that the court found no malice by the news outlet.

The Trump 2020 campaign had filed a libel lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, where CNN is headquartered, accusing the outlet of publishing “false and defamatory” statements about seeking Russia’s help in the Nov. 3 election.
