NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's re-election campaign sued the Washington Post for libel on Tuesday over two opinion pieces that it said suggested improper ties between the campaign and Russia, North Korea or both.

The campaign filed its lawsuit six days after filing a separate libel lawsuit against the New York Times , over an opinion piece it said falsely suggested a quid pro quo between Russian officials and Trump's 2016 campaign.
