The letter warned that if the outlet and its reporters “continue their reckless campaign of defamation, President Trump will evaluate all legal remedies.”

The only legal remedy they're suggesting here is a defamation/libel suit. If Trump is asserting that ProPublica's reporting on these oh so coincidental payments is false, then he will have to prove its falsehood. Furthermore, he will have to prove that ProPublica acted with actual malice.

You're out of your element, Donny.
