A US judge dismissed Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, citing the complaint's lack of conciseness and failure to meet federal pleading standards. The judge allowed Trump to amend the lawsuit. Trump's suit accused the NYT of spreading false and defamatory content and acting as a Democratic mouthpiece. The court deemed the complaint inappropriate for airing grievances against the newspaper.
