Summary
A Florida federal judge gave Donald Trump’s lawyers until Aug. 27 to file an amended complaint in his $15 billion defamation case against The New York Times.
The lawsuit targets the Times, four reporters and Penguin Random House, alleging years of defamation tied to coverage ranging from “The Apprentice” to reports on Trump’s taxes and the book “Lucky Loser.”
Trump cast the ruling as a win on Truth Social, saying a revised filing would detail alleged “actual malice” against him, his family and the MAGA movement.
The New York Times has said the case “has no merit” and called it an effort to chill independent reporting, signaling the dispute will continue after the amended filing.
