LIBEL LAWS<\/strong>. Trump again threatens the New York Times<\/em><\/a>: \u201cWhen he ran for president, he suggested that he would \u201copen up\u201d U.S. libel law to make it easier for people to sue news organizations, though experts noted<\/a> that it would be difficult for him to actually follow through on that threat. Notably, it would require getting around a major Supreme Court precedent on press freedom: The 1964 case New York Times v. Sullivan outlined newspapers\u2019 First Amendment protections and established the high bar that plaintiffs must clear to win libel cases against them.\u201d<\/p>\n
