Federal judge tosses Trump’s defamation lawsuit against New York Times

The federal judge further added that the lawsuit against NYT was "decidedly improper and impermissible" as a complaint must be "short, plain, direct statement of allegations of fact." Trump's suit against NYT was 85-pages long.

While the current complaint was rejected, the US president has been offered four weeks to file a proper complaint which is "40 pages" or less.

"Alleging only two simple counts of defamation, the complaint consumes eighty-five pages. Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three … Even under the most generous and lenient application of Rule 8, the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible.
