""As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective - not a protected platform to rage against an adversary,""
""A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park Speakers' Corner.""
""President Trump will continue to hold the Fake News accountable through this powerhouse lawsuit against the New York Times, its reporters, and Penguin Random House, in accordance with the judge's direction on logistics,""
""We welcome the judge's quick ruling, which recognized that the complaint was a political document rather than a serious legal filing,""
A federal judge dismissed President Trump's 85‑page defamation lawsuit against New York Times, citing excessive length and impermissible invective. The judge wrote that a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation, megaphone for public relations, or a podium for political oratory. The court gave Trump's attorneys 28 days to refile with a maximum of 40 pages. The suit sought $15 billion and named the Times, individual journalists, and Penguin Random House over a book. A Trump legal spokesperson said the president plans to refile; a Times spokesperson called the complaint a political document.
