Trump to sue New York Times over its reporting on his links with Epstein

Former US President Donald Trump has launched a fresh legal battle against one of America’s most prominent newspapers. He announced that he is filing a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing it of running what he called a “decades-long campaign of lies” aimed at damaging him politically and personally.

In a series of posts on his social media platforms, Trump alleged that the publication has consistently misrepresented him, his family, and his political movements, while openly siding with his rivals. He described the Times as a “virtual mouthpiece for the Radical Left Democrat Party” and vowed to hold it accountable in court.

Trump singled out the newspaper’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming its placement on the front page amounted to “the single largest illegal campaign contribution ever.” He accused the paper of deliberately smearing his reputation and undermining his America First and Make America Great Again (MAGA) movements.
