Ex U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a defamation case against CNN in a federal court in Florida.
The Daily Sabah late on Monday reported that a court filing showed that the former president is seeking $475 million in punitive damages.
Trump claims in his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that CNN had used its influence as a leading news organization to defeat him politically.
He said that CNN has used such defamatory labels against him as "racist," "Russian lackey," "insurrectionist" and "Hitler".
The lawsuit comes as the former president faces a criminal investigation by the Justice Department for retaining government records at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021.
During his term as a President, Trump criticised CNN for spreading "fake news" over its coverage of his presidential campaign and administration.
