President Donald Trump filed a $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times and its reporters on Sept. 15, accusing the newspaper of defamation.

Trump filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Florida over articles and a book written by two New York Times reporters and published during the height of the 2024 election, alleging that they were crafted with “actual malice, calculated to inflict maximum damage” on him.
