Trump Threatens $5 Billion Lawsuit Over National Guard Report

Trump's attorney, Alejandro Brito, sent a letter threatening a $5 billion lawsuit against the Center for American Progress unless they retract their report on National Guard deployments.
The report, released on July 13, claims the deployments had no measurable impact on crime rates and cost approximately $1.7 billion, with crime rates declining before the deployments.
The Center for American Progress stands by its report, arguing that it is based on rigorous analysis and is protected under the First Amendment.
