He lost the lawsuit: Trump ordered to pay NYT almost 400 thousand dollars. dollars.
The New York Supreme Court has ordered former US President Donald Trump to pay nearly $400,000 in legal fees after losing a lawsuit against The New York Times.
This was reported by the BBC.
In 2021, Trump demanded that the publication pay him $100 million in compensation due to an investigation into his tax fraud. He also claimed that the New York Times and his niece Mary Trump conspired to obtain his declaration.
The court dismissed Trump’s lawsuit because his claims “did not comply with constitutional law,” and Trump himself was ordered to reimburse the publication’s expenses. Articles about Trump’s financial affairs won the Pulitzer Prize.
In general, there were many attacks on the press by Trump. He calls any criticism a fake, and journalists and publications are enemies of the people. He also applied both of these designations to The New York, although he occasionally praised some of their publications.
Trump’s affairs
A total of 91 charges were brought against Trump in four criminal cases. Among other things, it is about illegal handling of classified documents, attempts to falsify election results and illegal spending of funds raised for the presidential campaign.
Prosecutor Smith is investigating attempts to overturn the 2020 election that led to the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The investigation concerned, among other things, the nomination of fake voters in states where Trump lost and a campaign of pressure on his then Vice President Mike Pence to cancel the election.
Despite this, Trump continues his campaign to run for the 2024 US presidential election.
