Buzzfeed was sued by the Russia-tied tech firm named in the dossier that contained unsubstantiated allegations against President Trump for including “libelous, unverified” information about the company, McClatchy reported Friday, citing the lawsuits. Company lawyers reportedly filed complaints against BuzzFeed and its editor Ben Smith. Trump called BuzzFeed "a pile of garbage" for publishing the allegations. CNN reported that Trump had been briefed by intelligence officials about compromising personal and financial information that Russia had collected on him. Meanwhile, Trump credited The New York Times, a newspaper he's often been at odds with, for its decision not to publish what it could not independently verify.
