"U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday ruled that Trump's lawsuit was overly long and was full of tedious and burdensome language that had no bearing on the legal case. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally, Merryday wrote in a four-page order. This action will begin, will continue, and will end in accord with the rules of procedure and in a professional and dignified manner."
"The judge ruled that Trump has 28 days to file an amended complaint that should not exceed 40 pages in length. The lawsuit named a book and an article written by Times reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig that focuses on Trump's finances and his pre-presidency starring role in television's The Apprentice. Trump said in the lawsuit that they maliciously peddled the fact-free narrative that television producer Mark Burnett turned Trump into a celebrity."
