The phrase “big lie” historically has referred to a propaganda technique so powerful that people who believe in its message could not believe that someone could have distorted it. Singhal dismissed his lawsuit with prejudice, meaning Trump cannot file another lawsuit under the same reasoning. “The Court finds Nazi references in the political discourse (made by whichever ‘side’) to be odious and repugnant. “CNN’s use of the phrase ‘the Big Lie’ in connection with Trump’s election challenges does not give rise to a plausible inference that Trump advocates the persecution and genocide of Jews or any other group of people. Trump has also filed several lawsuits against other news organizations, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, for coverage he perceived as critical.
