Jinse Finance reported that, according to court documents on September 19, a US judge dismissed President Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times, but allowed him to amend the complaint. The judge ruled that Trump's complaint violated federal rules and required a concise statement to justify the plaintiff's entitlement to damages. The judge stated, "A complaint is not an open forum for vituperative invective, nor is it a protected platform for attacking one's adversaries." On September 15 local time, Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social" that he had filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.
