TL;DR

Trump’s personal attorney threatened a $5 billion defamation lawsuit against the Center for American Progress unless it retracts a July report that found the National Guard deployments in DC, Memphis, and Los Angeles did not measurably reduce crime and cost about $1.7 billion; CAP defended the report as factual and protected by the First Amendment.
