(The Guardian) Trump threatens to sue authors and journalists who use anonymous sources in their reporting
President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform this morning, threatening to sue journalists who use “anonymous” sources in their reporting.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized books and articles that feature “so-called ‘anonymous’ or ‘off the record’ quotes”.
“At some point I am going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general, to find out whether or not these ‘anonymous sources’ even exist, which they largely do not,” he wrote. “They are made up, defamatory fiction, and a big price should be paid for this blatant dishonesty. I’ll do it as a service to our Country. Who knows, maybe we will create some NICE NEW LAW!!!.”
