On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that former President Donald Trump is now asking supporters on his email list to chip in money to help him fight his lawsuit against CNN. This comes in spite of the fact that the lawsuit, announced last week, has not yet actually materialized and Trump has not taken any formal steps to initiate legal action against the cable network. 'Add your name IMMEDIATELY to show your support for my upcoming lawsuit against Fake News CNN,' the email continued, linking to a donations page." "Trump touting a potential CNN lawsuit comes as the Republican National Committee has said they will stop paying the ex-president's legal bills upon him declaring his candidacy for president." Trump is more likely to win the Olympic decathlon than to prevail in this dispute."
