Joe Scarborough says he might sue Donald Trump for repeatedly accusing him of murder

Joe Scarborough has considered legal action against Donald Trump, who wrongly accused the MSNBC host of murder last year.

Mr Scarborough said on Sunday that he had lost patience with Mr Trump since the storming of the US Capitol by his supporters, many of whom alleged the 2020 election was “stolen”, and that he could sue the US President over allegations levelled against him.

Mr Trump, whose presidency ends on Wednesday, will no longer be protected against legal action. Mr Scarborough suggested to Times Radio that could lead to the one-term president being sued by him.

“I called lawyers after about the tenth time he accused me of murder,” said Mr Scarborough, who sought advice from lawyers in New York and Washington DC after Mr Trump’s allegations in May last year.

I have mixed feelings about Joe. But, he didn't deserve people threatening him and his family because trump made up some shit.

Once again, President Pig Vomit was projecting his guilt for a lot of murders, many by proxy, and I would suppose some direct circumstance.

and said, "You are not allowed to lie about us!"

I hope they all get million-dollar verdicts, and that they end up foreclosing on Mar-a-Lago!

Trump was downplaying the virus, mocking masks, holding super spreader events, and trying to slow down testing?

or get of the pot

I'm sick of these posers making a career of what they might or should have done. Doing nothing but getting paid millions for talking out of both sides of their mouths.

We can have a new channel called the sue trump channel. All the people who want to sue trump, his family and his associates. Lots of people want to sue him. Good amount of material there.
