US Judge Dismisses Trump's $15 Billion Lawsuit Against The New York Times: Court documents dated September 19th indicate that a US judge dismissed US President Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times, allowing him to amend the complaint. The judge ruled that Trump's complaint violated federal rules requiring a concise statement to justify damages. The judge stated, "A complaint is not a public forum for vitriol or attack, nor is it a protected platform for attacking opponents." On September 15th, local time, Trump posted on his social media platform, "Real Social," announcing a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.
