Judge tosses Trump's $15B defamation suit against New York Times, Penguin Random House

A federal judge dismissed Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and Penguin Random House, deeming the complaint "decidedly improper and impermissible." Judge Steven Merryday criticized the lawsuit's excessive length and irrelevant content, stating it violated civil lawsuit rules. While dismissing the suit on procedural grounds, the judge allowed Trump's lawyers 28 days to refile a revised complaint. The Times and Penguin Random House defended their reporting and vowed to continue their work.
