BATTLE FOR WORLD / WASHINGTON EXAMINER | October 18, 2019: Law firm representing Trump sent letter to CNN's President Jeff Zucker, threatening to sue.

The president has been outraged by secretly-taped anti-Trump comments attributed to CNN President Jeff Zucker and others at the cable news network, and in the letter is demanding an appropriate resolution of the matter or willing to file lawsuit for "a substantial payment of damages."

Since being elected as president of the United States in 2016, Trump has long been at war with CNN and other news media he calls “fake news.” He has had run-ins with CNN’s White House reporter Jim Acosta, who appears to goes out of his way every chance he gets to irritate the president.

The belief among many is that CNN is focused on trying to 'take down President Trump,' driven by a 'personal vendetta' that Mr. Zucker purportedly has against him, rather than reporting the news in an objective manner," wrote Harder in the letter to CNN's president.
