CNN reports the demand came in the form of a cease and desist letter to CNN president Jeff Zucker. "We stand by our poll," a CNN spokesperson said in response. UPDATE: CNN's lawyer responds to the Trump campaign: “To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40 year history that CNN had been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN’s polling results. To the extent we have received legal threats from political leaders in the past, they have typically come from countries like Venezuela or other regimes where there is little or no respect for a free and independent media. Your letter is factually and legally baseless. It is yet another bad faith attempt by the campaign to threaten litigation to muzzle speech it does not want voters to read or hear. Your allegations and demands are rejected in their entirety.”
