President Donald Trump has launched a $15 billion “defamation and libel lawsuit” against the New York Times he announced Monday night.
Four of the newspaper’s reporters, and publisher Penguin Random House, have been specifically named in the action claiming defamation and libel, and citing reputational damage, a Florida court filing as seen and reported by Reuters showed.
“The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform confirming the legal action.
Trump dismissed the leftist newspaper as a “virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democrat Party” and accused it of lying about his “family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our Nation as a whole.”
