A federal judge on Friday threw out U.S. President Donald Trump’s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times over its content, calling it a “decidedly improper and impermissible” effort to attack his adversaries.
U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday said Trump’s complaint against the Times, four reporters and the publisher Penguin Random House was too long and burdensome, and violated a federal civil procedure rule by omitting a short and plain statement of why Trump should win.
