Chris Morran: Trump’s attorney sent @propublica.bsky.social a cease-and-desist letter demanding this article not be published. The letter warned that if the outlet and its reporters “continue their reckless campaign of defamation, President Trump will evaluate all legal remedies.”

Multiple Trump Witnesses Have Received Significant Financial Benefits From His Businesses, Campaignwww.propublica.org Witnesses in the various criminal cases against the former president have gotten pay raises, new jobs and more. If any benefits were intended to influence testimony, that could be a crime.

Hey another example of my favorite legal scumbaggery! "Threatening people with defamation cases while forgetting those have a discovery phase" B/c I'm absolutely sure they'd be turning over documents that back up this article

I mean... These guys also have an established pattern of 1) not keeping written records (or, apparently, eating them?) 2) lying in the written records Don't think discovery helps in that situation, unfortunately

But most use email, unlike Trump, and we can find those.

The goal isn’t to win; it is to tie the defendant up in expensive litigation for years. Exactly what Musk (and the Texas government on his behalf) are doing to MMFA.

Maybe not a good plan when you're hemorrhaging money to legal fees, fines, judgements, payoffs, and also running a presidential campaign.

If I recall correctly defamation of character cases are extremely difficult to prove and most don't go anywhere. Trump tries this move a lot and it never works in his favor.

Hard to defame your character when everyone already hates you

There’s actually precedent for this

He defamed himself for sure.

Yep that is also (broadly speaking) pretty accurate! The kinds if people that throws these around always conveniently have the money to prolong this and run out the pockets of those they target.

evaluate these nuts

Sir, you will not succeed in court if you do not properly cite Deez v. Nuts.

Definitely be afraid of this guy’s legal team and their impressive record of smashing successes

"Go ahead and sue. We like our odds"

The article states that giving folks raises and bonuses "feels shady" considering these folks are potential witnesses against him. I would be surprised if he gave them anything for any other reason than witness tampering.

LOL. Typical move, distract, distract, distract. Doing anything he can to distract from the fact he is a convicted felon.

Trump doesn't want us to read this article which is reason enough to read it. Plus, it's ProPublica!

Exactly

Does Trump's attorney know how discovery works Like I'm not a lawyer and even I know how ridiculous this threat is

This is RICO stuff. It’s a criminal org.

He’s not President. He’s former or ex-President. Calling him President gives him much more status than he deserves. You can only be President if you’re the current holder of that office

Can you imagine being “Donald Trumps attorney”? Better to defend the Unibomber

The ABA should initiate disbarment proceedings now on so many lawyers. Clean it up.

One of those legal remedies would be pleading guilty, so their assertion is an obvious lie.

Can you sue them for reckless endangerment? Being threatened that Trump will "evaluate all legal remedies" is risk making people laugh so hard it's unsafe for their health.

lol. every time he "evaluates legal remedies," he gets humiliated by the legal system. bring it on, Donny

Please refer to as Convicted Felon Trump, never President. Thank you.

Agreed or #tRump as I say

That guy really loves doing crimes

Wait until he's (forcefully) reminded about the anti-SLAPP laws.

Sweep up the bum lawyers that wrote the agreements incl the one that sent the letter.

Please tell me that Propublica’s lawyers responded something like “we’ve seen your lawyers and are not impressed. Try it. Discovery will be entertaining.”

🎯

LOL!! What’s that about hit dogs and hollering?

I am having a very hard time spotting a claim of objective fact that could be considered defamatory if false without even getting into the question of actual malice.

Jail him.

Based on his convictions, Trump will also consider all *illegal* remedies.

I believe tRump will do & plans illegal activities whether he wins or not. his hypnotized armed sheep seem more than willing to violate the #ConstitutionOfTheUnitedStates of #America >>>The constitutional definition of what a traitor is comes to mind 🇺🇸 as do most members of the SCOTUS. Sick--so sad.

O yes! Good call out there

Man, it’s as if truth is a defense.

Glad you did not fold

His ego says sue and his bank account says ha-ha f you!

Thanks, tfg attorneys (if indeed that’s what you are) for bringing this important article to my attention! I ❤️ @propublica.bsky.social.

Yes sure this will absolutely help his appeal effort yes

)))))

…imagine you’re on the hit list drawn up by the mango god and his disciples…

The GOP is a criminal organization and the Don is the Russian catalyst to control. Kinda obvious. Thank goodness for unbiased judges like Aileen Cannon 🙄
