The complaint also said that CNN wanted to use its influence as a trusted news source. To defeat the plaintiff in this case (Trump) politically, they want to spread slander about him among viewers and readers.

The complaint further alleges that CNN has engaged in a series of defamatory and false campaigns against the plaintiffs in the case. He has been labeled a 'racist', 'agent of Russia', 'rebel' and 'Hitler'.
