Donald Trump has initiated multiple lawsuits against major media outlets, including the New York Times, CBS News, and Penguin Random House, seeking $10 billion in damages. The lawsuits allege defamation and political bias, with Trump accusing these organizations of making false statements and acting as partisan advocates for the Democratic Party. His legal actions come just before the upcoming election and are characterized by claims of 'industrial-scale libel' and election interference. Trump's legal team argues that the media's coverage has been detrimental to his reputation and electoral prospects.
