President Donald Trump suggested he may push for legal action against anonymous sourcing in journalism, calling it “made up, defamatory fiction” and hinting at the possibility of a new law to curb its use.

“As a President who is being given credit for having the Best Opening Month of any President in history, quite naturally, here come the Fake books and stories with the so-called ‘anonymous,’ or ‘off the record,’ quotes,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He accused the media and book publishers of fabricating sources to attack him. “At some point I am going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general, to find out whether or not these ‘anonymous sources’ even exist, which they largely do not,” he said.

Trump has long criticized the use of unnamed sources, arguing that corporate media shields itself from accountability by relying on unverifiable claims. “They are made up, defamatory fiction, and a big price should be paid for this blatant dishonesty,” he declared.

While Trump has previously called for media reforms, his latest remarks suggest he may take direct legal action—or even push for legislative changes. “I’ll do it as a service to our Country. Who knows, maybe we will create some NICE NEW LAW!!!” he wrote, hinting at potential reforms targeting media anonymity.

The idea of restricting anonymous sources would likely face fierce opposition from corporate media outlets, which routinely use them to push narratives without evidence. Trump’s statement suggests he is prepared for that fight, reinforcing his commitment to exposing media corruption.
