(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.
