The owner of an NBC affiliate gave four big reasons why Trump's suit fails and deserves dismissal
In Wisconsin, the swingiest of swing states, where plaintiffs losing libel suits almost never have to pay defendants' legal costs, Donald Trump aims to do damage control on the COVID-19 front by picking a fight with the media.
On Wednesday, the Wisconsin broadcaster gave four big reasons why the suit fails and deserves dismissal. Regardless of that answer, Northland says that defamation is a personal tort, that statements referring to individual members of an organization don't implicate the organization, and that Trump can't plead around the "of and concerning" standard by remarking that the President is “the Trump Campaign’s candidate.”
If the judge sees it differently, however, Northland argues that the advertisement is then substantially true. Or, at least, not materially false.
