Trump's Truth Social latest posts07-28 07:30

President Donald Trump announced on July 27 that a judge has called for an updated complaint in his defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, after the newspaper's attempt to have the case dismissed failed. The lawsuit, filed over a decade ago, accuses the Times of repeated harassment, slander, and libel.

According to Trump's statement, the judge's order will require the updated complaint to detail "all the ways in which The Times has repeatedly and consistently acted, with actual malice in defaming me, my family, our Great MAGA Movement, and America, itself." The President said the Times had "failed again in their desperate attempt to have our powerful Defamation Lawsuit against them dropped."

Trump vowed to continue holding the Times and other mainstream media outlets accountable for what he called "publishing, promoting, and dealing in Fake News." The case centers on allegations that the newspaper acted with actual malice, a legal standard that requires proof of knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth.
