Trump Campaign Reportedly Threatened To Sue Washington Post Over Super PAC Story

The Washington Post says Donald Trump's campaign threatened to sue the paper if it reported that the candidate had improper connections with a super PAC that is raising money for him. Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager, reportedly said the campaign would file a lawsuit if the paper reported that Trump had sanctioned the Make America Great Again super PAC to raise money from wealthy donors. The Post reported the threat in a story, published on Oct 18, about the super PAC's possible links with Trump. “I want to be crystal clear,” Lewandowski told the Post. “There is no sanctioned super PAC.” The allegations could be a blow to Trump's anti-establishment platform.
