The social media platform, X, (formerly Twitter), will be forced to sue the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for defamation, X owner, Elon Musk, wrote in in post on the platform Tuesday morning.

The announcement comes on the heels of a report from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that Musk had promoted a hashtag launched by Irish white nationalist and self-described “raging antisemite,” Keith Woods.

Wood’s hashtag, #BanTheADL, calls to ban the ADL from X.

X owner Elon Musk threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League for “roughly $22 billion” after accusing the civil rights group of chasing away advertisers since he bought the social media site.

The world’s richest man — who over the weekend amplified an extremist campaign to ban the Jewish group â€” claimed in a tweetstorm Monday night that the ADL was trying to shut down the site formerly known as Twitter by “falsely accusing it and me of being antisemitic.”

A federal judge on Wednesday awarded a default judgment to a pair of Georgia election workers as part of their civil defamation suit against former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who also faces separate criminal charges in Fulton County.

The mother-daughter tandem of Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss are suing the former New York City mayor for defamation over erroneous remarks he made accusing the pair of fraudulently manipulating ballots on Election Day 2020 in Georgia.

Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against accuser E. Jean Carroll was tossed Monday by a federal judge — in a ruling finding the writer’s statements that the former president raped her “were substantially true.”

Trump, 77, brought the counterclaims against E. Jean Carroll, 79, in June, arguing she falsely accused him of rape after a Manhattan federal jury only found him liable for sexual abuse in her civil case against him.

A U.S. judge on Monday dismissed Donald Trump's defamation counterclaim against the writer E. Jean Carroll, handing a fresh legal defeat to the former president as he seeks another White House term.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan said Carroll's statements, made on CNN the day after she won a $5 million jury verdict against Trump for defamation and sexual abuse, were at least "substantially true," and Trump failed to show she made them with actual malice.

A federal judge in Florida has thrown out former President Trump’s defamation lawsuit against CNN, in which the former president alleged that the network’s use of the term “the Big Lie” associates him with Hitler.

The lawsuit cites five times when CNN commentators and writers used “the Big Lie” to refer to Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and stolen. The term is generally associated with the Nazis, and the origin of the term is associated with Adolf Hitler’s accusations of wrongdoing against Jewish people.

Rudy Giuliani admits he spewed lies about two Georgia election workers he infamously accused of trying to rig the 2020 election for President Biden.

The ex-New York City mayor and current lawyer for former President Donald Trump conceded in a late night court filing that he does not contest the allegations against him made in a defamation lawsuit filed by Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss.

“(Giuliani) does not contest that 
 such actionable factual statements are false,” his lawyers wrote in the signed filing.

Donald Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani has conceded that he made false statements about election workers counting extra ballots after the former president boosted baseless claims that the 2020 elections was fraudulent.

A Tuesday court filing shows that the former mayor of New York admitted he made "false" statements and "published those statements to third parties." Giuliani, however, did not contest that "to the extent that the statements were statements of fact and otherwise actionable, such actionable factual statements were false."

Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, submitted a court filing just before midnight Tuesday admitting that statements made accusing two Georgia electoral workers of fraud following the 2020 presidential election were “false.”

“The Defendant Giuliani, for the purposes of this litigation only, does not contest that, to the extent the statements were of fact and otherwise actionable, such actionable factual statements are false,” a copy of the legal document reads.
