Update, 1:12 Pm Pt: CNN responded to a legal threat from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign by comparing it to the type of letter they would get “from countries like Venezuela or other regimes where there is little or no respect for a free and independent media.”
The Trump campaign earlier asked CNN for a retraction of and apology for a poll that showed Joe Biden with a 14-point lead. On Monday, Trump said that he retained pollster John McLaughlin to refute the claims.
“To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40 year history that CNN has been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN’s polling results,” wrote David C. Vigilante, the network’s executive vice president and general counsel.

A 28-year-old first-time progressive candidate, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-n.Y.) on Tuesday, scoring one of the year’s biggest political upsets.
Crowley, who was a member of the Democratic leadership and was considered a possible successor to Nancy Pelosi, has been in the House since 1999, and has represented the 14th district since 2013. He was the chair of the House Democratic Caucus since 2017.
Ocasio-Cortez‘s victory was quickly compared to 2014 primary upset in which Dave Brat ousted Eric Cantor, then the No. 2 Republican in the House, from his Virginia district seat.
NY1 captured Ocasio-Cortez’s reaction as she realized she was winning the race.
