"Trump's suit cites a series of NYT articles, including an editorial written before the 2024 presidential election, which said he was unfit for office. Trump decried the newspaper as a virtual mouthpiece' for the Radical Left Democrat Party and accused it of lying about his family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our Nation as a whole. He did not provide any evidence for his claims."
"US publisher Penguin Random House was also cited in the lawsuit for a book it published in 2024 titled Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father's Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success. Defendants maliciously published the Book and the Articles knowing that these publications were filled with repugnant distortions and fabrications about President Trump, Trump's lawyers wrote in the filing. The publications have harmed Trump's business and personal reputation, causing significant economic damage to his brand value and future financial prospects, according to the filing."
Donald Trump filed a $15bn defamation and libel lawsuit in Florida federal court against The New York Times and Penguin Random House, alleging their publications damaged his reputation and business. The suit cites multiple NYT articles and an editorial written before the 2024 presidential election that characterized him as unfit for office. The complaint accuses the defendants of knowingly publishing distortions and fabrications about Trump's family, business, and the America First movement, and alleges significant economic harm to his brand and future financial prospects. Trump posted the filing on Truth Social, calling the Times a 'virtual mouthpiece' for the 'Radical Left Democrat Party.' Al Jazeera and Penguin Random House had not yet responded to requests for comment.
