A New York judge has ordered Donald Trump to reimburse The New York Times and three journalists $392,638.69 in legal fees related to a frivolous lawsuit the former president leveled against the newspaper.
On Friday, New York Supreme Court Justice Robert R. Reed ruled that pursuant to a May decision dismissing the former president’s lawsuit against the Times, “$392,638.69 is a reasonable value for the legal services rendered,” and ordered Trump to pay up.

Former President Donald Trump was ordered to pay nearly $400,000 in legal fees and other costs to The New York Times and three reporters he had sued after they published a piece on his tax schemes.
New York Supreme Court judge Robert R. Reed ordered the former president to pay $392,638.69 to the Times and the reporters, Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner.
Last year, Reed dismissed Trump’s lawsuit against them, finding that the state’s anti-slapp law applied. That law is designed to limit plaintiffs from filing litigation as a way to limit a defendant from exercising the right to free speech and public participation.
Trump filed suit against the Times and the reporters in 2021, claiming they caused his niece Mary Trump to take tax and financial documents held by her lawyer and violate a 2001 settlement agreement. Among other things, Trump claimed tortious interference with contract and unjust enrichment.

A judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against The New York Times and three journalists who published a 2018 piece on his tax schemes.

Mary Trump’s attorney says that Donald Trump’s lawsuit against his niece and The New York Times is “doomed to failure” and another effort to stifle freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
“This is the latest in a long line of frivolous lawsuits by Donald Trump that target truthful speech and important journalism on issues of public concern,” said Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., who is representing Mary Trump. “It is doomed to failure like the rest of his baseless efforts to chill freedom of speech and of the press.”
On Monday, Trump sued over the Times‘ 2018 exposé on the Trump family taxes. In his lawsuit, filed in New York Supreme Court (read it here), Trump claims that his niece, the Times and its reporters “engaged in an insidious plot to obtain confidential and highly-sensitive records which they exploited for their own benefit and utilized as a means...

When New York Times reporters David Barstow, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner published their exhaustive, gazillion-word expose on the Trump family tax practices last week, there was only one word for it.
“Tax bombshell,” blared Yahoo!
By my count, this was roughly the 4,790th “bombshell” of the Trump presidency, but one of the few to deserve the title. The Times story is an extraordinary piece of investigative reporting and a monument to the kind of work we all should be doing.
