Trump launches $15bn defamation case against the New York Times
The Guardian
|September 17, 2025
Donald Trump has filed a $15bn (£11bn) defamation lawsuit against the New York Times in his latest use of the courts against a media outlet.
The US president accused the newspaper of being a “mouthpiece” for the Democratic party and of “spreading false and defamatory content” about him.
The NYT said last week that it had been threatened with legal action by the White House after articles about a crude birthday note given to the late child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. The note bears Trump’s signature but the president denies being its author.
Trump launched legal action against the Wall Street Journal and its proprietor, Rupert Murdoch, after it first reported on the existence of the note. The message, which featured a lewd drawing, has since been published but Trump continues to deny being its author.
The filing against the NYT was made by Trump's lawyers to a district court in Florida on Monday night.
It names several articles and a book written by two of the publication’s journalists that was published before the 2024 election.
