In one of many Trump related news items to hit on Friday, he's been ordered to pay $392,638.69 in legal fees to the New York Times and three reporters — Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russ Buettner — as a consequence of his failed lawsuit against the publication for a 2018 Pulitzer-winning story on his family’s finances.
In May 2023, New York Judge Robert Reed tossed out the lawsuit on the basis that the reporters were protected under the First Amendment and this latest development would otherwise put it rest, were it not for Trump's team railing against it.
