During a segment on CNN this Wednesday where the discussion focused on Donald Trump's lawsuit against his niece Mary Trump, The New York Times, and three of its reporters alleging an "insidious plot" to expose his confidential tax records, CNN legal analyst Jennifer Rodgers gave her thoughts on the merits of the lawsuit.
According to Rodgers, the lawsuit is "poorly drafted" with "very little support."
"More that a year ago, President Trump tried to stop the publication of Mary Trump's book on this exact basis," she explained. "And it failed in court, so the New York Times defendants have absolutely no concerns here -- their First Amendment rights are going to prevail in this matter."
She also said of the complaint, "I don't know what it's based on and I question why it was filed at all."

\u201cThis is a very poorly drafted complaint with very little support. I was surprised to see how poorly it was done. \u2026It kind of causes me to question why it\u2019s being filed at all, I don\u2019t see any merit at all.\u201d --@JenGRodgers on Trump lawsuit against his niece and NYT.pic.twitter.com/4JfCMBL3u3— Ana Cabrera (@Ana Cabrera) 1632331463
