NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and four of its journalists on Monday, according to court documents. The lawsuit, lodged in U.S. District Court in Florida, points to several articles and a book written by Times journalists, claiming they are indicative of a decades-long campaign of intentional defamation against him. The suit asserts that the defendants published false statements with either knowledge of their inaccuracy or with reckless disregard for their truth. The New York Times has not yet publicly commented on the lawsuit. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump condemned the Times for spreading lies about him and labeled the publication as a 'mouthpiece' for the radical left. Previously, Trump has targeted other media, including a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal concerning his connections to financier Jeffrey Epstein.}
