New York Times Defiant Amid Trump’s $15B Defamation Lawsuit

The New York Times CEO Meredith Kopit Levien dismissed Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit as meritless, framing it as an attempt to silence independent journalism. The lawsuit alleges the newspaper acted as a 'virtual mouthpiece' for Democrats—a claim Levien rejected while invoking parallels to authoritarian tactics against press freedom.

Legal actions against media outlets have become a recurring theme during Trump's post-presidency. The Wall Street Journal faces a similar $10 billion suit tied to its Epstein coverage. Levien emphasized the Times' commitment to fact-based reporting despite what she characterized as intimidation efforts.
