US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was considering legal action against the New York Times, in his latest attack on a major media outlet.

Trump, on his Truth Social platform, blasted the New York Times’ coverage of his legal suit against CBS-owner Paramount, saying it “makes them liable for tortious interference, including in Elections, which we are intently studying.”

“Tortious interference” occurs when a contract or business relationship is intentionally damaged by another person’s actions.

The Paramount suit revolves around a pre-election interview last year by the CBS program “60 Minutes” with Trump’s Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, which he alleges was edited to remove an embarrassing response.
