I haven’t seen how he wants to change the libel laws but to be fair the libel laws in the US definitely need changing!!! The latest sexual allegations that have been flying round show that the law over here is backwards with regards to these type of allegations and the type contained in this book. The way the law works here means that if you want to sue someone for what they are saying about you then you have to prove they are wrong, rather than the UK law which puts the onus on the person making the claim and forcing them to unequivocally prove their allegations are factual. Its only a small difference but it tends to stop frivolous stories and claims against people unless the person making the claims has multiple solid sources, which is how it should be.
