Federal appeals court rejects Trump’s ‘meritless’ case against CNN

Federal appeals judges ruled Trump’s defamation suit failed because the term 'Big Lie' is subjective and not a false statement of fact.

  • A US federal appeals court upheld the dismissal of Donald Trump's $475 million lawsuit against CNN for calling his claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen the 'Big Lie.'
  • The court ruled that CNN's statements were opinions, not factually false statements, and therefore not actionable for defamation.
