Former US President Donald Trump has filed a defamation case against CNN, the largest US media outlet.

He filed this case in a Florida court on Monday (October 3) local time. At the same time, this leader of the Republican Party also demanded compensation of 475 million dollars from CNN.

The complaint of the former US president is that CNN has launched a “defamation and slander campaign” against him. However, CNN has not yet agreed to comment on the case.

In the 29-page lawsuit, Trump claimed that CNN had been criticizing him for a long time. But the US media has stepped up its attacks on him in recent months because they fear he will run for re-election in 2024.
