The 282-page notice of intent called upon CNN to publish a “full and fair correction, apology, or retraction” for all of their libelous articles and broadcasts, in accordance with the Florida Statues. In his letter of intent, Trump said CNN, who calls themselves “the most trusted name in news,” broadcast “numerous articles and televised transmissions” with the intent of hurting his presidency and negatively affecting his reelection.
“CNN’s reporting, both before the election, as well as after the election, consistently fed a narrative that denounced President Trump’s legitimacy and competency,” the letter read.
Trump criticized CNN’s coverage of the presidential races from 2016 and 2020.
