Federal judge tosses Trump's $15B defamation lawsuit against New York Times

ADRIANA MORGA

September 19, 2025

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- A federal judge in Florida on Friday tossed President Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against New York Times.

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 -- "even though at and prior to the time of publications defendants knew that President Trump was already a mega-celebrity and an enormous success in business."
