Trump Lawyer Threatens $5 Billion Lawsuit Over Think Tank's National Guard Report

Donald Trump's personal lawyer Alejandro Brito has threatened the Center for American Progress with a $5 billion defamation lawsuit unless it retracts a July report finding the administration's $1.7 billion National Guard deployments failed to reduce crime in Washington, D.C., Memphis, and Los Angeles. The letter demanded a retraction and apology by 5 p.m. Friday. CAP called the threat "baseless."
