Juez dice que el uso de CNN de “la gran mentira” con respecto a Trump no es difamación

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:17:10 GMT

(CNN) — Un juez federal en Florida desestimó el viernes una demanda por difamación de US$ 475 millones que presentó el expresidente Donald Trump contra CNN, en la que acusaba a la cadena de difamarlo al usar la frase “la gran mentira” y supuestamente compararlo con Adolf Hitler.El juez de distrito Raag Singhal, designado por Trump en 2019, dijo que el uso de la frase o declaraciones similares son opiniones que no cumplen con el estándar de difamación.“El uso por parte de CNN de la frase ‘la gran mentira’ en relación con los desafíos electorales de Trump no da lugar a una inferencia plausible de que Trump defienda la persecución y el genocidio de los judíos o de cualquier otro grupo de personas. Ningún espectador razonable podría (o debería) hacer esa referencia de manera plausible”, escribió Singhal.ANÁLISIS | Las nuevas e impactantes acusaciones contra Trump elevan las apuestas de unas elecciones 2024 ya existenciales“Ser ‘como Hitler’ no es una declaración de hec...
