President Donald Trump announced on July 27 that a judge has rejected The New York Times' attempt to dismiss his defamation lawsuit, ordering an updated complaint to be filed. In a post on X, Trump stated that the "Highly Respected Judge has called for an updated complaint, which will lay out, in extreme detail, all the ways in which The Times has repeatedly and consistently acted, with actual malice in defaming me, my family, our Great MAGA Movement, and America, itself."
Trump claimed that the newspaper, after 10 years of "harassment, slander, and libel," failed in its "desperate attempt" to have the lawsuit dropped. He said the updated complaint will detail the alleged misconduct. "We will continue to hold The Times and their 'comrades' in the Mainstream Media accountable for publishing, promoting, and dealing in Fake News," Trump wrote. The lawsuit, which involves powerful defamation allegations, remains active as the court proceeds with the case.
