A federal judge in Florida on Friday dismissed President Donald Trump's $15 billion (£11 billion) defamation lawsuit against the New York Times. The lawsuit named a book and an article by Times reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig that focus on Trump's finances and his pre-presidency starring role on television's The Apprentice. Trump alleged the reporters "maliciously peddled the fact-free narrative" that producer Mark Burnett turned him into a celebrity. The complaint asserted that, at and prior to the time of the publications, defendants knew Trump was already a mega-celebrity and an enormous success in business. The dismissal terminates this specific legal claim.
