Trump’s most famous statement on the subject came in February 2016, when he said he’s “going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. We’re going to open up those libel laws. So when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.” But there were plenty more.

In a tweet on April 6, 2015, Trump wrote, “As dishonest as @RollingStone is I say @HuffingtonPost is worse. Neither has much money - sue them and put them out of business!”

Soon after he entered the race in July 2015, Trump lawyer Michael Cohen threatened to sue The Daily Beast for running a story about rape allegations Trump’s then-wife Ivana Trump made against him in 1989. Cohen told Daily Beast reporters Tim Mak and Brandy Zadrozny, “I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,” adding: “So I’m warning you, tread very f—-ing lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f—-ing disgusting.”

Just a few days later on July 2, the National Hispanic Media Coalition announced that Trump’s chief counsel was “threatening a lawsuit against NHMC” after the group issued a statement calling Trump’s remarks about Mexicans as a “bigoted, racist, anti-Latino rant.”

In January 2016, Trump threatened to sue The Washington Post over a story on how his casinos in Atlantic City filed for bankruptcy in the early 1990s, telling the Post “This was not personal. This was a corporate deal. If you write this one, I’m suing you.” The Post ran the story anyway.

On April 12, 2016, Eric Wemple reported that Trump threatened to sue the Associated Press over a story the news organization ran in October 2015 “about a movement by the directors of the Trump Ocean Club in Panama City to oust a management team installed by the Trump family.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Cay Johnston, author of the book The Making of Donald Trump, said Trump personally called him on April 27, 2016, and threatened to sue him “if he doesn’t like what I report.”

In an interview for The Washington Post’s book on Trump on May 18, 2016, he said, “I will be bringing more libel suits as people—maybe against you folks. I don’t want to threaten, but I find that the press is unbelievably dishonest.”

On July 20, 2016, The New Yorker reported that Trump had threatened to sue his former ghostwriter Tony Schwartz for “defamatory statements Schwartz made to New Yorker writer Jane Mayer about the book he “co-wrote” with Trump, The Art of the Deal. Schwartz claimed Trump didn’t write a word of it and that much of what was written was misleading or not true.

In mid-September, Trump threatened The New York Times in a tweet, saying, “My lawyers want to sue the failing @nytimes so badly for irresponsible intent. I said no (for now), but they are watching. Really disgusting.”

That was two weeks before The New York Times ran its story this weekend, accusing Trump of potentially skirting federal income taxes for more than a decade, which his lawyers promptly threatened to sue over, despite The New York Times clearly being protected by the First Amendment.

NOTE; TIME IS TIGHT: the bill to change the primary needs to be introduced Tuesday to get through both chambers before the assembly adjourns. > > Goal: for Daley to call Speaker Madigan's COS Tim Mapes. Ideally, Daley would also have his friend Mike McClain call Mapes with the same message. > > Overview: > The overall goal is to move the IL primary out of mid March, where they are currently a lifeline to a moderate Republican candidate after the mostly southern Super Tuesday. IL was a key early win for Romney in 12. > Our preference would be for them to move all the way to May, but if they at least move to April 12 or April 19 they will have the day to themselves and presumably garner a lot of coverage. They will also be influencing a big northeast primary day on April 26. > They will receive a bonus of 10% extra delegates if they move to April and 20% if they move to May. Mapes has said repeatedly they don't care about that. > As we discussed, they don't really care about being helpful and feel forgotten and neglected by POTUS. The key point is that this is not an Obama ask, but a Hillary ask. And the Clintons won't forget what their friends have done for them. It would be helpful to feel out what path, if any, we have to get them to yes. This will probably take some pushing. > Thanks again for doing this!
