Summary

Donald Trump, the president-elect and convicted felon, has escalated his legal attacks on media outlets critical of him, sparking fears for press freedom under his second term.

His lawyer recently demanded $10 billion in damages from The New York Times and Penguin Random House over alleged “defamatory” content.

Similar lawsuits target the Daily Beast, CBS News, and others, accusing them of “malicious” reporting and election interference.

Media groups and watchdogs, including the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders, warn these actions threaten press freedom and the public’s right to information.
