Donald Trump's lawyers did not say that his election-fraud claims were true in their threat against CNN.
In a document submitted to CNN last week, Trump's legal team said it would file a lawsuit against the network if it didn't correct or apologize for stories about him.
On Wednesday, Trump said that he intended to file a lawsuit.
CNN repeatedly said that Trump was lying but that he could not be lying as he believed his loss was due to voter fraud.
In this instance, President Trump's comments are not lies: He subjectively believes that the results of the 2020 presidential election turned on fraudulent voting activity in several key states.
They said that CNN accused Trump of lying before the audits and recounts took place.
They argued that Trump couldn't be lying.
They said that a lie is an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue.
The speaker is required to know he or she is speaking false and to specifically harbor an intent to deceive in order to be considered false.
They didn't argue that the claims were true.
It demanded that CNN stop using "big lie" and "lying" when describing President Trump's belief in the integrity of the 2020 election.
President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election despite Donald Trump's claims that he was the real winner. His lawsuits over the matter have failed in court.
If Trump is charged with crimes related to the Capitol riot, his legal team could argue that he believed what he was saying, according to a legal expert.
According to reports, the House committee is looking into Trump's conduct after the election and his involvement in the riot.
