Priebus: White House Has ‘Looked At’ Changing Law To Let Trump Sue Press
-
White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Sunday said that President Donald Trump’s administration has “looked at” changing the law so that Trump can sue the press, though Priebus offered few details.
ABC News’ Jon Karl questioned Priebus on “This Week” about Trump’s suggestion in March that he might “change libel laws” in order to go after the New York Times.
“That would require, as I understand it, a constitutional amendment,” Karl said. “Is he really going to pursue that?”
“I think it’s something that we’ve looked at, and how that gets executed or whether that goes anywhere is a different story,” Priebus said.
