Trump threatens $5bn defamation lawsuit against CAP over National Guard report

Former President Trump's legal counsel has threatened a $5 billion lawsuit against the Center for American Progress (CAP) demanding the retraction of a report questioning the efficacy of his National Guard deployment policy. The report claims the $1.7 billion initiative failed to reduce crime in Washington D.C., Memphis, and Los Angeles, marking a significant escalation in legal pressure against policy-focused think tanks.
