Donald Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times 'dismissed for now' due to length
September 12, 2025 - The U.S. District Court in Florida has temporarily dismissed former President Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times and four of its journalists. The dismissal is due to the excessive length of the lawsuit, according to court documents .The lawsuit, filed on September 16, 2025, alleged that several articles and one book published by The New York Times were part of a decades-long pattern of intentional and malicious defamation against Trump. The lawsuit claimed that the articles were published negligently, with knowledge of their falsity, and/or with reckless disregard of their truth or falsity .
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused The New York Times of becoming a "virtual 'mouthpiece' for the Radical Left Democrat Party" and stated that the publication had been allowed to freely lie and defame him for too long. The lawsuit also cited previous defamation lawsuits against other media outlets, including a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and media mogul Rupert Murdoch .
The court's decision to dismiss the lawsuit temporarily does not mean it has been permanently dismissed. The court will likely schedule a hearing to address the length of the lawsuit and determine whether it can proceed. The New York Times has not yet responded to requests for comment .
This development is significant for media and legal professionals, as it highlights the potential challenges of filing lengthy lawsuits and the importance of adhering to legal standards. Investors and financial professionals should keep an eye on this case as it could set a precedent for future media defamation lawsuits.
