HeadlineSep 17, 2025

President Trump has also filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and publisher Penguin Random House. The lawsuit is aimed at the book “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success,” written by two Times reporters, Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, as well as three Times articles and an editorial prior to the 2024 election saying that Trump was unfit for office.
