President Donald Trump called for a "strong look at our country’s libel laws" after the publication of a book that depicted him as an inept leader of a dysfunctional White House.
"You can’t say things that are false, knowingly false, and be able to smile as money pours into your bank account," Trump said during a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House on Wednesday. The president said current libel laws were "a sham" and a "disgrace" and did not "represent American values."
