Former President Donald Trump's $475 million defamation lawsuit against CNN has been dismissed by U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal, who was appointed by Trump himself. The lawsuit was in response to CNN's use of the phrase "the Big Lie" when referring to Trump's false claims about the 2020 election, which Trump claimed likened him to Adolf Hitler. Judge Singhal ruled that the references were opinion and not factual statements, and thus did not amount to defamation. The dismissal of the lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal setbacks for Trump, who has vowed to continue to fight for his legal rights.
