CNN had termed Trump's allegations a "big lie," a term that Trump claimed was coined by anchors to malign his reputation. While talking to hosts John Solomon and Amanda Head on the Real America's Voice network show "Just The News No Noise" on Oct. 5, Trump said CNN should "prove the big lie."

"They'll say whatever comes to mind. They talk about the big lie. I said, well prove the big lie. The big lie is not a big lie at all. The big lie is the opposite," said Trump.

"All the stats—we have everything. Unfortunately, we haven't had judges that want to look at it. They don't want to change elections."

The former President filed a lawsuit against CNN on Monday, alleging defamation and seeking $475 million in punitive damages.

"And so we sued CNN for a lot of money and we'll see how that goes. I think it should go very well," Trump said.

The 29-page lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, accuses CNN of having "sought to use its massive influence—purportedly as a 'trusted' news source" to defame Trump "for the purpose of defeating him politically."
