""Well he's wrong on the facts. He's wrong on the law and we'll fight it, and we'll win," he told Axios' Sara Fischer."
""I don't think the president of the United States should be suing media organizations for libel, full stop. I think that's wrong," Kahn said."
""But I especially think it's wrong when he's wrong on the facts, when he's wrong about the story, when he misunderstands the protections that the law offers to media organizations under the Supreme Court's interpretation of libel law, and I think it's incumbent on us to fight that to the end.""
""full-throated mouthpiece of the Democrat Party.""
Trump sued the New York Times on Monday, alleging the paper is a "full-throated mouthpiece of the Democrat Party." The lawsuit accuses media organizations of libel and seeks redress for allegedly false reporting. The suit is characterized as an improper use of presidential power to pursue libel claims against media. The complaint is described as factually and legally incorrect, and as misunderstanding the protections the Supreme Court's interpretation of libel law affords to media organizations. The legal response is positioned as an obligation to litigate the suit vigorously and to defeat it to preserve media protections.
