That’s why they settle.

Every legal expert I’ve heard interviewed on this says it wouldn’t stand a chance because US has such a high bar for libel.
Trump spends millions on this sort litigation he knows will fail to try and bankrupt those who criticise him.

Reeves did box herself in but can anyone really not imagine how it would have played out if Labour had tried to keep the door open to a big ticket tax rise?
