    You can say whatever you like, but someone can also sue you for any reason at all. Even a completely baseless lawsuit can ruin someone who doesn’t already have millions of dollars to fight it in court.

    Usually a news organization will guarantee that their lawyers will defend the people they interview in court to encourage them to speak. The large news organizations made millions from increased viewership because they gave Trump hundreds of hours of free screen time beginning from before his first election. Now they aren’t interested in putting any of that money to work to get out the truth.
