Former President Donald Trump has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against CNN.
RELATED: How Trump and Biden will affect midterm elections in swing states
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, focuses primarily on the term “The Big Lie” about Trump's false claims of widespread fraud that he says cost him the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden.
Trump repeatedly attacked CNN as president, which resonated with his conservative followers. He has similarly filed lawsuits against big tech companies with little success. His case against Twitter for knocking him off its platform following the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection was thrown out by a California judge earlier this year.
Numerous federal and local election officials in both parties, a long list of courts, top former campaign staffers and even Trump’s own attorney general have all said there is no evidence of the election fraud he alleges. Trump's lawsuit claims “The Big Lie,” a phrase with Nazi connotations, has been used in reference to him more than 7,700 times on CNN since January 2021.

Good luck buddy 😆
🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lol, no $ to pay for those lawyers, good luck
Can’t believe he found a lawyer so stupid as to take this case.
It’s not really about that. Think about legal advertising money in the justice system. Sue. Sue. Sue. Russia, Russia Russia. Books, books, books. The liberals were the best at it but many Republicans are learning and Trump is paving the way.
Wait tell the lawyer finds out they arnt getting paid 🤫
@Chihuahua0almost every Republican that left the trump cabinet either by getting fired or by choice has come out with a book.
Desperate attempt.
You can smell the desperation…it smell like filet of fish with extra tartar
Ofcourse he did, he needs money.
He’s looking for an easy buck.
He can buy and sell ! Jealous Demons
Wait lmao…. so now CNN lost him the election. I thought he got cheated!
Wait, how did CNN cost him the election? Other news media also said he lost too. But you don’t him suing any of them.
Fox announced it first that he lost .
Good for you!!
Idk where all your backers are!But I’ve been praying🙏 for you constantly! Best wishes in your life!🙋♀️
America’s rule of law has dissolved into Trumpism versus woke, I don’t know which is worse
Obama and Biden should sue Fox News? Lmaooooo
If CNN pays then he owes Dominion billions
