At this point, does anyone except Trump not know when he's bluffing? I mean, just think of the discovery this news publication could get if he did sue.

If he filed a suit, he'd be guaranteeing not just access, but court-enforced access, to the most relevant, secret documents proving his witness tampering.

I imagine that many of his supporters think he isn't bluffing. I don't think this is intended to prove it's a lies, but to signal to his less dedicated supporters that the publication is lying to hurt him. We can predict how this headline will be framed on Fox.
