“TRUMP THREATENS CNN AND NEW YORK TIMES WITH LAWSUIT OVER IRAN ATTACK COVERAGE”

The letters claim the outlets’ coverage was false and defamatory, particularly in describing an early US intelligence assessment that contradicted Trump’s claims about the effectiveness of the strikes. Both CNN and the NYT have rejected the claims, standing by their reporting.
