The US president also accused the newspaper of lying about him, his family and Maga
US President Donald Trump on Monday filed a US$15 billion lawsuit for defamation and libel against The New York Times, days after the newspaper released articles on his ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The move comes after Trump threatened last week to sue the Times for its reporting related to a sexually suggestive note and drawing given to Epstein.
“Today, I have the Great Honour of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
“The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW.”
