Trump argued that the attorneys fees were excessive and asked the court to order a lesser amount. However, the court granted the exact amount the plaintiffs requested for the Times and the three reporters who worked on the story that caused Trump to sue.
Trump had alleged in the lawsuit that the New York Times engaged in an “insidious plot” when they published their story about his tax returns in 2018. He alleged that three reporters with the Times conspired with his niece Mary Trump to get him.
The Court dismissed the lawsuit in 2021, stating that the article was free speech protected under the First Amendment.
Trump filed the lawsuit in 2021 accusing the Times and three of its reporters of conspiring with his estranged niece, Mary L. Trump, to obtain his confidential tax records for a series of stories published in 2018. https://twitter.com/susannecraig/status/1745875236149440586
