Trump Ordered to Pay Nearly $400K in Legal Fees to NYT, Reporters

The order follows Trump's unsuccessful lawsuit over a 2018 Pulitzer-winning story on his family’s wealth and tax practices.

Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay nearly $400,000 in legal fees to The New York Times and three of its reporters.
The order comes after Trump's unsuccessful lawsuit against the Times and the reporters over a 2018 Pulitzer-winning story on his family’s wealth and tax practices.
The lawsuit, which was dismissed in May 2023, alleged that the Times and its reporters conspired with Trump's niece, Mary Trump, to obtain his tax records.
New York Judge Robert Reed ruled that the sum of $392,638.69 is “reasonable” given the case’s complexity.
Trump's legal team expressed disappointment that the Times and its reporters were dropped from the case but affirmed the strength of their claims against Mary Trump.
