US President Donald TrumpA Florida federal judge has tossed out a £11 billion defamation lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump against The New York Times on the basis that it was too petty. The lawsuit delves into Mr Trump’s work on The Apprentice TV show and an “extensive list” of the billionaire’s other media appearances. The lawsuit also attacked claims the reporters made about Mr Trump’s early business dealings and his father, Fred. Mr Trump also cited an article by Peter Baker last October 20 headlined “For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment". Mr Trump has sued ABC News and CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” both of which were settled out of court by the news organisations’ parent companies.
