"On Monday night, Trump became the first US president to sue the New York Times, for defamation to the tune of $15bn. Where does he even come up with this? wondered Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday evening. These are like numbers my children make up when they're talking about money. I thought he said the New York Times was failing, he added."
"Meanwhile, many in Maga-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk. On Monday, JD Vance, who once called Trump America's Hitler, hosted Kirk's podcast from the White House and blamed the left, without evidence. Said Vance: While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left."
Donald Trump filed a $15bn defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, naming numerous media appearances and cultural roles in the filing.

Political allies sought to assign blame for recent violent rhetoric to the left, with an ex-senatorial candidate hosting a podcast from the White House and asserting an unproven statistical claim about left-wing extremism. The Department of Justice removed a study that had identified far-right groups as the primary source of domestic extremist violence. Commentary raised questions about attempts to shift responsibility away from far-right threats.
