The only legal remedy they're suggesting here is a defamation/libel suit. If Trump is asserting that ProPublica's reporting on these oh so coincidental payments is false, then he will have to prove its falsehood. Furthermore, he will have to prove that ProPublica acted with actual malice.
You're out of your element, Donny.
But, but... Dragging things out forever in court is his only move?
Sadly. All his base sees is he claims it’s defamation. Therefor it is. 🤦
I'm betting he and his legal team know they would lose this, but would use it as yet another excuse to claim the ruling is more political persecution because his cult followers are too stupid to know any better.
