https://thehill.com/homenews/media/459164-trump-lawyer-demands-msnbc-retract-report-alleging-banking-ties-to-russian?__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=trueAn attorney for President Trump on Wednesday demanded a retraction and apology following an MSNBC report alleging the president obtained loans from Deutsche Bank with Russian oligarchs as co-signers.
Charles Harder sent a letter to NBCUniversal saying the remarks made Tuesday night on MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" were false and defamatory, according to a copy of the letter made public by Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi.
O'Donnell first shared his report during a handoff from his lead-in host, Rachel Maddow, who appeared surprised by his remarks.
I may have some information, in this next hour, which would add a great deal to their understanding of that, if true, and Ill be discussing it here, ODonnell said. "I stress if true, because this is a single source who has told me that Deutsche Bank obtained tax returns."

(35,454 posts)all the traitor has to do is prove LD is wrong. Papers please.
That must have upset Trump. Yet I do not think he will sue, as he would have to turn over documents in discovery. I look forward to hearing what Lawrence has to say about this tonight. He must know he is at risk of being the target of tweets! Oh my!
Me.
(35,454 posts)He lost the last time he sued LD, who wears it as a badge of honor. And let me just say, LD, who has his share of ego... ..is going to be thrilled to run with this and work it for all it's worth, so good for us. To me this 'report' was like the clouds clearing.
Do you mean Irish-American Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC? He's never struck me that way .....though I compare him to the rest of the family. He ranks almost last!
He knew that last night, of course. He's going after him.

(61,710 posts)Lawrence spoke on his show last night. Trump will say, "Some people say..." or make other vague attributions to original sources, and he always gets away with it.
