Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Launches $15B Lawsuit Against New York Times for Defamation
Caption: Trump Launches $15B Lawsuit Against New York Times for Defamation. President Donald Trump has filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times in Florida, accusing the paper of misleading reporting and political bias. In the lawsuit, Trump claims that The New York Times serves as a “mouthpiece of the Democrat Party,” citing its coverage during the 2024 election. Trump accuses the Times of spreading falsehoods about him, his family, business, and the America First Movement over a long period. The lawsuit also targets Penguin Random House for publishing the book “Lucky Loser,” which Trump calls “false, malicious, and defamatory.” Trump argues that the Times’ reporting has harmed his “unique brand” and business interests, including his media company’s stock value. The lawsuit follows Trump’s denial of allegations related to a sexually suggestive note he allegedly sent to financier Jeffrey Epstein. This lawsuit is part of Trump’s broader strategy to confront what he views as biased media coverage, having previously filed suits against The Wall Street Journal, ABC, and CBS News. In response, The New York Times called Trump’s lawsuit “without merit” and framed it as an attempt to silence independent journalism. Trump’s legal battles with media companies have resulted in settlements, including a $16 million payout from Paramount over a deceptive interview edit.
