United States President Donald John Trump said he will file a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the newspaper of running what he called a decades-long ‘method of lying’ against him, his family and the America First movement.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump described the lawsuit as the largest illegal campaign contribution ever, alleging that the Times had effectively become a ‘mouthpiece’ for the Democratic party.
He also criticised the newspaper’s front-page endorsement of Kamala Harris, calling it ‘something heretofore unheard of.’
‘The Times has engaged in a decades long method of lying about your Favorite President (ME!), my family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our Nation as a whole,’ Trump wrote.
Trump’s move follows his threat last week to sue the Times after it reported on a sexually suggestive note and drawing given to financier Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
