A federal judge on Friday struck Donald Trump’s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times over its content.
U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday said Trump violated a federal procedural rule requiring a short and plain statement of why he deserves relief, and that a complaint is not “a public forum for vituperation and invective” or “a protected platform to rage against an adversary.”
Merryday gave Trump 28 days to file an amended complaint.
