Trump Refiles $15 Billion Defamation Lawsuit Against The New York Times
Former U.S. President Donald TRUMP has resubmitted a streamlined 40-page defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and Penguin Random House, seeking $15 billion in damages. The revised filing follows a Florida judge's dismissal of an earlier version for excessive length and repetitive allegations.
The case centers on claims of defamatory statements in two NYT articles and a Penguin-published book. Legal observers note the refiling attempts to address judicial criticisms while maintaining the Core allegation of reputational harm.
