US President Donald Trump has said he will sue the New York Times for $ 15 billion ($ 11 billion) because of what he called slander and slander.

“New York Times is allowed to lie freely, to smear me and slander too long and it stops now!” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Monday.

He releases the approval of Kamala Harris’s Times in the last 2024 presidential election, saying it has become a “mouthpiece for the radical left Democratic Party.”

A newspaper spokesman said the costume was “an attempt to suffocate and discourage independent reporting”, adding that “there is no merit.”

“New York Times will not be discouraged by intimidation tactics,” the spokesman added.

Trump said his trial was led in Florida, a Republican fortress.

He has long expressed dissatisfaction with what charges left -wing media publications unfavorable to his presidency.

In a late Monday publication, Trump has taken on the approval of the Times of Election Rival, saying: “Their approval of Kamala Harris was actually set a dead center on the front page of the New York Times, something so far unheard of!”

In the publication, he accused other media or television programs for “blurring” through “an extremely complex system for documents and visual changes.”

ABC News and Paramount’s CBS News have agreed to Trump’s multimillion -dollar payments to settle lawsuits brought by the president in recent months.

He also launched a case against the Wall Street Journal to report the Epstein scandal.

This is not the first time Trump has tried to sue the New York Times.

In 2023, a judge rejected a case brought by him, then a former president against The New York Times, stating that the claims in the trial “failed as a matter of constitutional law.”

The $ 100 million lawsuit (£ 79 million) has accused the newspaper and Trump’s alienated niece Mary Trump for “insidious plot” to receive his tax records.

It was filed in 2021 and refers to the series of the Pulitzer Award for Trump’s financial affairs.

Trump also lost another bid for slander in 2023, when he strives to judge CNN in vain for claiming to have likened it to Adolf Hitler. Later, a federal judge dumped a $ 475 million court process (£ 369 million).

Explanation: This story has been updated to include lawsuits against ABC News and Paramount, which ended with settlements in favor of Trump.
