The US President\u2019s previous defamation claim against the newspaper was struck down for being \u201cimproper and impermissible\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has renewed his $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, its reporters, and publisher Penguin Random House.<\/p>\n

Trump initially submitted a 85-page-long lawsuit against the paper last month, accusing it of lying about him for decades and serving as a mouthpiece for the “Radical Left Democratic Party.”<\/em> He claimed the outlet was “one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the history of our country”<\/em> and described its endorsement of his Democratic rival in 2024, Kamala Harris, as “the single largest illegal campaign contribution, EVER.”<\/em><\/p>\n

However, the original filing was dismissed as “decidedly improper and impermissible.”<\/em> Judge Steven D. Merryday claimed it read more like a political attack than a legal argument and ordered Trump and his team to resubmit the complaint and make sure it does not exceed 40 pages.<\/p>\n

The new complaint, filed on Thursday, is exactly 40 pages long and now lacks original passages on Trump’s 2024 election victory and the “Russia Collusion Hoax.”<\/em> The name of a reporters listed in the original, Michael S. Schmidt, has also been dropped.<\/p>\n

Trump’s attorneys allege that statements made in The New York Times and the 2024 book Lucky Loser, published by Penguin Random House, were “malicious, defamatory, and disparaging”<\/em> toward his reputation and career achievements. The suit seeks both financial damages and formal retractions of the claims.
A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team has said the president is “continuing to hold the Fake News responsible through this powerhouse lawsuit.”<\/em><\/p>\n

New York Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha responded by saying the paper “will not be deterred by intimidation tactics.”<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
