US President Donald Trump says he will continue the New York Times for $ 15 billion

US President Donald Trump said he will continue the New York Times for $ 15 billion (11 billion pounds Sterling) on ​​what the American president calls defamation and defamation.

“The New York Times has been allowed to lie freely, to be mistaken and to defam myself for too long, and it stops now!” Trump posted on his social media platform on Monday on Monday, Truth Social.

He distinguished the approval of the Times of Kamala Harris in the last presidential election in 2024, saying that he had become a “spokesperson for the Radical Democratic Party”.

Trump added that his trial was launched in Florida, a republican bastion. The BBC contacted the newspaper for a comment.

Trump has long expressed his dissatisfaction with what he invoices the unfavorable left media to his presidency.

In a late article on Monday, Trump clashed with the approval of the Times of his electoral rival, saying: “their approval by Kamala Harris was in fact placed at the center of the first page of the New York Times, something unique!”

In the post, he also accused other media or television programs of the “messy” through “a very sophisticated system of documents and visual alteration”.

ABC News and CBS News from Paramount have both accepted the several million dollars payments to Trump to settle the charts brought by the president in recent months.

He also launched a case against the Wall Street Journal for his reports on the Epstein scandal.

This is not the first time that Trump has been trying to continue the New York Times.

In 2023, a judge rejected a trial brought by him, then a former president, against the New York Times, claiming that complaints in the trial “failed in constitutional law”.

The trial of $ 100 million (79 million pounds sterling) accused the newspaper and the separate niece of Trump, Mary Trump, of an “insidious plot” to obtain her tax files.

It was tabled in 2021 and concerns a winning series of the Pulitzer Prize on Trump’s financial affairs.

Trump also lost another defamation offer in 2023, when he sought in vain to continue CNN for having allegedly compared to Adolf Hitler. A federal judge then rejected the trial of $ 475 million (369 million pounds sterling).
