Brian Stelter: “President Trump’s libel lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal reads like a message to other news outlets: Don’t follow the Journal‘s lead.”
“Journalists in other newsrooms have been pursuing further reporting about Trump’s long-ago friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. His lawsuit is a warning to those news outlets; his $20 billion damages claim is a notice that ‘I will try to ruin you.’”
“It’s also an extraordinary escalation of Trump’s ongoing legal campaign against media companies he views as opponents.”
