The New York Times did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The suit alleged decades of defamation and libel by the Times over everything from how it reported on “The Apprentice” to its stories claiming he’d engaged in suspect tax maneuvers.

Trump celebrated the news.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The Failing New York Times, after 10 years of harassment, slander, and libel, just failed again in their desperate attempt to have our powerful Defamation Lawsuit against them dropped.”

Trump said the updated complaint “will lay out, in extreme detail, all the ways in which The Times has repeatedly and consistently acted, with actual malice in defaming me, my family, our Great MAGA Movement, and America, itself.”

As we requested, the Highly Respected Judge has called for an updated complaint, which will lay out, in extreme detail, all the ways in which The Times has repeatedly and consistently acted, with actual malice in defaming me, my family, our Great MAGA Movement, and America, itself. We will continue to hold The Times and their “comrades” in the Mainstream Media accountable for publishing, promoting, and dealing in Fake News. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
