Court dismisses Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times

A federal judge in Florida has dismissed Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, which sought $15 billion in damages. The court warned that lawsuits cannot be political statements and gave Trump's lawyers 28 days to amend the complaint.

Florida Judge Steven Merryday slammed Trump's 85-page lawsuit against the Journal as excessively long and abusive of filing rules. He said the lawsuit must be a concise and direct statement of the allegations and facts in the case, while the political rants against the Journal contained in Trump's lawyers' complaint were "definitely inappropriate and inadmissible."

“As every lawyer knows (or is supposed to know), a lawsuit is not a public forum for hurling insults and insults—it is not a protected platform for expressing rage against an opponent,” the judge wrote. Still, he gave Trump’s lawyers 28 days to amend the lawsuit, setting a 40-page limit.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday against the New York Times, four of its journalists, and Penguin Random House, Trump is seeking $15 billion in damages. The president accuses the defendants of bias and defamation.

In the document, written in a journalistic style, the lawyers argued, among other things, that The New York Times has become the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party and is engaging in "defamation and slander of political opponents on an industrial scale." They recalled the newspaper's editorial board's support, in keeping with American tradition, for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. The document is also replete with praise for Trump.

The lawsuit against the New York Times is one of a series of actions by Trump against mainstream media outlets. He previously sued the Wall Street Journal, among others, for the newspaper's reporting on a sexually suggestive 50th birthday card Trump allegedly wrote to his then-friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also sued ABC and CBS, which settled with him, agreeing to donate $15 million and $20 million to his foundation. In the case of CBS, the network's owner, Paramount, received federal approval for its merger with Skydance Media shortly after the settlement, resulting in corruption charges. On Thursday, New York Times executive editor Joseph Kahn announced that the newspaper would not bow to pressure and settle.

"He (Trump – PAP) is wrong about the facts and the law. We will fight this and we will win," Kahn declared.

On Thursday, Trump suggested that major free-to-air networks could lose their broadcast licenses for airing talk shows by comedians critical of the president. Trump said they "can't do that." The president also called on NBC to fire talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. Earlier, comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who is equally disliked by the president, was suspended, and CBS did not renew the contract of another popular comedy talk show host, Stephen Colbert.

"He (Trump – PAP) is wrong about the facts and the law. We will fight this and we will win," Kahn declared.

On Thursday, Trump suggested that major free-to-air networks could lose their broadcast licenses for airing talk shows by comedians critical of the president. Trump said they "can't do that." The president also called on NBC to fire talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. Earlier, comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who is equally disliked by the president, was suspended, and CBS did not renew the contract of another popular comedy talk show host, Stephen Colbert.

A federal judge in Florida has dismissed Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, which sought $15 billion in damages. The court warned that lawsuits cannot be political statements and gave Trump's lawyers 28 days to amend the complaint.

Florida Judge Steven Merryday slammed Trump's 85-page lawsuit against the Journal as excessively long and abusive of filing rules. He said the lawsuit must be a concise and direct statement of the allegations and facts in the case, while the political rants against the Journal contained in Trump's lawyers' complaint were "definitely inappropriate and inadmissible."

“As every lawyer knows (or is supposed to know), a lawsuit is not a public forum for hurling insults and insults—it is not a protected platform for expressing rage against an opponent,” the judge wrote. Still, he gave Trump’s lawyers 28 days to amend the lawsuit, setting a 40-page limit.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday against the New York Times, four of its journalists, and Penguin Random House, Trump is seeking $15 billion in damages. The president accuses the defendants of bias and defamation.

In the document, written in a journalistic style, the lawyers argued, among other things, that The New York Times has become the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party and is engaging in "defamation and slander of political opponents on an industrial scale." They recalled the newspaper's editorial board's support, in keeping with American tradition, for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. The document is also replete with praise for Trump.

The lawsuit against the New York Times is one of a series of actions by Trump against mainstream media outlets. He previously sued the Wall Street Journal, among others, for the newspaper's reporting on a sexually suggestive 50th birthday card Trump allegedly wrote to his then-friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also sued ABC and CBS, which settled with him, agreeing to donate $15 million and $20 million to his foundation. In the case of CBS, the network's owner, Paramount, received federal approval for its merger with Skydance Media shortly after the settlement, resulting in corruption charges. On Thursday, New York Times executive editor Joseph Kahn announced that the newspaper would not bow to pressure and settle.

"He (Trump – PAP) is wrong about the facts and the law. We will fight this and we will win," Kahn declared.

He previously sued the Wall Street Journal, among others, for the newspaper's reporting on a sexually suggestive 50th birthday card Trump allegedly wrote to his then-friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also sued ABC and CBS, which settled with him, agreeing to donate $15 million and $20 million to his foundation. In the case of CBS, the network's owner, Paramount, received federal approval for its merger with Skydance Media shortly after the settlement, resulting in corruption charges. On Thursday, New York Times executive editor Joseph Kahn announced that the newspaper would not bow to pressure and settle.

"He (Trump – PAP) is wrong about the facts and the law. We will fight this and we will win," Kahn declared.

On Thursday, Trump suggested that major free-to-air networks could lose their broadcast licenses for airing talk shows by comedians critical of the president. Trump said they "can't do that." The president also called on NBC to fire talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. Earlier, comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who is equally disliked by the president, was suspended, and CBS did not renew the contract of another popular comedy talk show host, Stephen Colbert.
