"Trump Threatens To Sue Authors And Media Who Use Anonymous Sources"

"US President Donald Trump, furious over a disparaging new tell-all book about him, threatened Wednesday to sue authors and media outlets that use anonymous sources."

"Trump has made suing people an integral part of his brand as he made his way up from New York real estate mogul to the US presidency twice, and this time he is taking aim at the common practice of books and news stories using unnamed sources.

Trump is also famously contemptuous of mainstream media in America, which he routinely labels the "fake news" media.

His latest move comes after the publication of a new expose by journalist Michael Wolff that has Trump and his team livid.

Among other assertions the book says that after surviving an assassination attempt last summer during the election campaign, Trump "seemed possibly on the verge of cracking," unable to finish sentences and flying into rages that were stunning even for the famously thin-skinned former reality TV star."

AFP had the story February 26, 2025.
