Lawyer for Trump halts billion-dollar court case against The New York Times - Lawsuit filed by billionaire Donald Trump against The New York Times halted by a federal judge in the United States
The New York Times, one of the leading daily newspapers in the United States, founded in 1851, is currently facing a billion-dollar lawsuit filed by former U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida. The lawsuit targets the New York Times, four of its journalists, and Penguin Random House.
The lawsuit refers to three articles published between September and October last year, as well as a book by reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig. Trump describes the New York Times as the "mouthpiece of the radical left Democratic Party."
The lawsuit claims that the articles and book defamed President Trump and are part of a decades-long pattern of deliberate and malicious defamation by the New York Times. Trump demands at least $10 billion (around $8.6 billion) from Murdoch and his newspaper in the lawsuit, and the court is asked to award Trump at least $15 billion in damages and additional compensation to be determined at trial.
The New York Times has accused Trump of using intimidation tactics and called the lawsuit "wholly without merit." The newspaper sees the lawsuit as an attempt to stifle independent reporting.
In a separate development, the New York Times recently reported on a conciliatory birthday letter that Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. However, the White House denies the authenticity of the letter.
Meanwhile, Trump has launched unprecedented attacks on media, political opponents, universities, or law firms since taking office in January. In July, Trump filed a billion-dollar lawsuit against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the "Wall Street Journal." The search results do not provide the name of the specific lawyer or law firm representing Trump in the defamation lawsuit against the New York Times.
The New York Times is known for its investigative journalism, comprehensive international coverage, and has won more than 130 Pulitzer Prizes, a record. The lawsuit targets the newspaper's reporting on Trump's financial dealings and tax returns.
Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel's critical remarks about the Trump camp's reaction to a recent attack on Trump supporter Charlie Kirk led to his late-night show being abruptly pulled. The networks ABC and CBS News also came under Trump's scrutiny and agreed to multi-million dollar payments to him.
In conclusion, the billion-dollar lawsuit against the New York Times by Donald Trump continues to be a significant development in the ongoing saga of media-political relations in the United States. The outcome of the lawsuit may have far-reaching implications for the future of journalism and free speech.
