Sarettah, you really should familiarize yourself with New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 1964: .. "the Court decided that public officials no longer could sue successfully for libel unless reporters or editors were guilty of 'actual malice' when publishing false statements about them."
Trump could easily sue most of the MSM.

Publishing false information and Publishing false information with the intent of causing harm are 2 totally different things.
It is still not a crime though. In the U.S. libel and defamation are NOT crimes. You have to sue over defamation and libel, they are not handled in criminal courts. It is a civil offense usually, not criminal.
