Trump Campaign Threatens Lawsuit Against Nonprofit Over National Guard Report

Why it matters locally: While the specific report's content is not detailed, any national policy discussions surrounding the National Guard could indirectly affect the Virginia National Guard, which is a key component of the state's emergency response and defense capabilities.

The campaign for former President Donald Trump sent a letter to the Center for American Progress, demanding the organization retract a report by the close of business Friday. The letter indicated that the campaign would pursue a $5 billion lawsuit if the center did not issue the retraction. The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization did not issue a retraction by the specified deadline.
