President Donald Trump on Oct. 16 refiled his $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, book publisher Penguin Random House, and three NY Times reporters after a judge’s earlier rejection of the case.
In a 40-page amended complaint, Trump accused the defendants of defamation over two articles and a book published last year ahead of the presidential election, alleging they contained statements intended to “wrongly defame and disparage” his professional reputation.
