United States President Donald Trump on Monday announced that he is filing a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the publication of serving as a “mouthpiece” for the “Radical Left” Democratic Party.
“Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.

The U.S. President said the lawsuit would be filed in Florida, though he did not provide additional details on the timeline or legal grounds. Trump alleged that the Times has consistently lied about him, his family, and his businesses, causing irreparable damage to his reputation.
The New York Times has yet to respond to Trump’s latest claims, with no immediate comment available outside of regular business hours.
This move marks the latest escalation in Trump’s ongoing battle with mainstream media outlets, which he has frequently accused of biased reporting and spreading misinformation against him.
