US President Donald Trump has warned media outlets that he may sue them for using “anonymous” or “off the record” sources in what he calls “made-up” stories.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump described such reports as “defamatory fiction” and vowed to take legal action. “At some point, I am going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general,” he wrote.
