Trump's lawsuit worth millions against The New York Times has been dismissed by a judge, citing the complaint as overly lengthy, unnecessary, and lacking substance.
In a recent ruling, a federal judge has dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. The judge, identified as Merryday, appointed by the U.S. judicial system, stated that a lawsuit is not a public forum for insults and invective, nor a protected platform to vent against an adversary.
The dismissal was due to a violation of a federal procedural rule by President Trump. Specifically, the lawsuit lacked a concise statement of why Trump deserves damages. The judge gave Trump a 28-day deadline to file an amended lawsuit of no more than 40 pages to address these procedural issues.
It's important to note that this dismissal does not affect any ongoing legal proceedings or investigations involving President Trump. Additionally, the dismissal does not necessarily mean that the claims made in the lawsuit are false or unfounded.
