FIRST ON FOX \u2014<\/strong> President Donald Trump<\/a> refiled his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times after it was previously thrown out of court due to its length.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The amended complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for Florida\u2019s Middle District in Tampa, accuses The New York Times of defamation, citing two articles published in 2024 and a book authored by two Times reporters last year. He is seeking $15 billion plus punitive damages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“President Trump is continuing to hold the Fake News responsible through this powerhouse lawsuit against the New York Times, its reporters, and Penguin Random House,” a spokesman for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JUDGE TOSSES OUT TRUMP’S $15 BILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST NEW YORK TIMES FOR BEING TOO LONG<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The named defendants are The New York Times<\/a> Company, reporters Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner, Peter Baker and Michael S. Schmidt, and Penguin Random House, publisher of “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father\u2019s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success,” which was authored by Craig and Buettner.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to The New York Times and Penguin Random House for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, a federal judge tossed the lawsuit, which was previously 85 pages long, and gave him 28 days to file a new complaint that had to be under 40 pages. The amended complaint is 40 pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The revised suit alleges defamation pertaining to The Times’ reporting on Trump’s stint as star of “The Apprentice” and allegations he engaged in suspect tax maneuvers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This lawsuit follows others Trump had filed against ABC News, CBS News and The Wall Street Journal. Trump has already secured eight-figure settlements against ABC News and CBS News over the past year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ABC agreed to pay $15 million last December as a charitable contribution to a future presidential museum or foundation to settle Trump’s defamation lawsuit. The suit was prompted by anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly saying on the air Trump had previously been held liable for rape, rather than sexual abuse. It also paid $1 million in legal fees.<\/p>\n

Trump also launched an “election interference” lawsuit against CBS over its “60 Minutes” interview of then-Vice President Kamala Harris last year, saying its editing decisions amounted to deceiving the public. Ahead of a planned $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, CBS parent company Paramount settled the lawsuit<\/u><\/a> in July to a total that could be upwards of $30 million.<\/p>\n
