Judge Allows Trump to Amend $15 Billion Defamation Lawsuit Against The New York Times
US President Donald Trump secured a procedural win in his $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, as a judge allowed his legal team to amend the complaint. Trump accuses the newspaper of bias and actual malice, alleging defamation against him, his family, and the MAGA movement. He reaffirmed his intent to hold media organizations accountable for what he calls "fake news." The amended complaint is due by August 27 in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
