Lawyers representing President Donald Trump have demanded that MSNBC retract claims made by host Lawrence ODonnell that the presidents Deutsche Bank loans were co-signed by Russian oligarchs.
As reported by the Washington Posts Paul Farhi, Trump attorney Charles Harder sent a letter to NBC Universal that called ODonnells claims false and defamatory and demanded that the network apologize for airing them.
Harder also argued that he could prove malice on the part of ODonnell because numerous documents for each of these loans are also recorded, publicly available and searchable online, which would mean that ODonnell showed reckless disregard for the truth when airing his report.
ODonnell based his claim on a single source whom he described as close to Deutsche Bank who told him that Trumps loan documents there show that he has co- signers
and that the co- signers are Russian oligarchs. ODonnell went on to claim that if true, that explains every kind word Trump has ever said about Russia and Putin.
Deutsche Bank has so far refused to comment on ODonnells claims.
