Judge in Federal Court Dismisses Trump's $15 Billion Libel Suit Against The New York Times
In a significant turn of events, a federal judge in Florida has dismissed a 15 billion defamation lawsuit filed by former U.S. President Donald Trump against The New York Times. The dismissal was due to the lawsuit being overly long and filled with unnecessary language.
The lawsuit, which accused the reporters of maliciously peddling a fact-free narrative, targeted claims made about Trump's early business dealings and his father, Fred. Trump cited an article by Peter Baker on Oct. 20, 2020, titled "For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment."
The lawsuit named a book and an article written by Times reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig that focuses on Trump's finances and his pre-presidency role in television's "The Apprentice."
Trump has been given 28 days to file an amended complaint that should not exceed 40 pages in length. It's important to note that the dismissal does not imply the truth or falsehood of the allegations, but rather a ruling on the lawsuit's format and length.
Meanwhile, independent news outlet HuffPost continues its commitment to providing unflinching, fact-based journalism. The initial support from readers helped bolster the newsroom of HuffPost, and the outlet expresses gratitude to its readers for their continued support. HuffPost states that it needs help more than ever to continue its work and seeks additional support from readers.
It's worth mentioning that the lawyer who defended the impeachment charges against President Joe Biden was represented by a different legal team distinct from those formerly associated with Donald Trump's defense. There is no public evidence that the Biden defense attorney was previously involved in defending Trump.
