Trump says CNN may have committed a crime. The First Amendment says otherwise.

After CNN reported Iranian officials’ statements, Trump called the coverage false and suggested a crime. Experts say that’s unlikely.

Within two hours of declaring a ceasefire in the Iran war, President Donald Trump alleged that CNN knowingly published false information.

Trump said CNN reported a “fake” statement from Iran and U.S. authorities are probing whether CNN committed a crime by publishing it. It’s unclear what crime, if any, CNN would be charged with.

Trump shared a statement from Iran’s minister of foreign affairs that said Trump accepted Iran’s 10-point plan as a “basis for negotiations,” that Iran agrees to a ceasefire and will reopen the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks. As of April 10, the strait was operating at about 10% of its normal pace, according to National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
