The New York Supreme Court dismissed the Trump campaign's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times on Tuesday, saying it had failed to prove that the Times intentionally defamed Trump.

The Trump campaign sued over a March 2019 opinion piece by Max Frankel, a former executive editor of the news organization.

In the piece, Frankel argued that there was an "overarching deal" between Russia and the Trump campaign to help former President Donald Trump get elected.

The court ruled the Trump campaign had failed to establish actual malice with its lawsuit, as it had not shown that Frankel and the Times had knowledge that the statements were false, or that they were made with a "reckless disregard for the truth."

1. Not NYT's first rodeo.

New York Times v. Sullivan is the landmark media defamation case.

2. Sounds kinda wimpy. More likely, he lost because

What Frankel wrote was TRUE.

3. Wonder how much $ trump has spent in establishing his 60+ losing record

in the various courts.?

4. Nothing ... he stiffs everyone (nt)

5. Yep

It's why I think, every one of these lawsuits he files, he should be required to put up 10 million dollars.
After the Courts assure everyone has been paid then he gets back whatever is leftover
That would likely end his litigious ways

6. Probably end them before they even start ... doubt he has $10M to throw down (nt)

7. The NY Times pays real lawyers very well to handle these things.

tRump stiffs people like Lin Wood and Rudy, and then wonders why he is always losing these things.

Orly Taitz may still be available, though...
