‘One of worst & most degenerate newspapers’: Trump launches $15B defamation lawsuit against NYT
US President Donald Trump has announced a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the paper of decades-long lies against him, his family, businesses, and the MAGA movement. Filing in Florida, Trump called the Times a ‘degenerate newspaper’ and a mouthpiece for the radical left, citing biased coverage and past media settlements. The move follows renewed tensions over Epstein-linked reporting.
