Trump v. New York Times

Case Overview

President Trump sued the New York Times for $15 billion, claiming defamation over statements that NBC launched his celebrity through 'The Apprentice,' that he and his family engaged in tax fraud, that he had a lifetime of scandals, and that his former chief of staff warned he would rule like a dictator. The case is in an early stage; no ruling has been issued yet. The key issue is likely to be whether the case lands before a judge Trump appointed, similar to an earlier CBS suit.
