What I know about civil trials is a plaintiff sends an intent to sue letter to the defendant and files a copy with the court. A judge is then assigned to the case and they announce a six week period for the two sides to get together and reach a settlement. If they can’t come to an agreement a trial date is set.
In this story Trump’s lawyers are announcing an intent to file an intent to sue letter. CNN has their own legal department so they can’t be intimidated by lawyers’ fees so they can just sit tight, wait for a trial to begin, and as Kevin says, sell tickets to discovery.
