Epstein Fallout Deepens: Deposition Now Imminent as Trump Files $15B Lawsuit Against NYT Over Epstein Coverage.

Epstein Fallout Deepens: Deposition Now Imminent as Trump Files $15B Lawsuit Against NYT Over Epstein Coverage.

In the USA.

The news as it trends.

In a case many are now calling “the gift that keeps on giving,” Donald Trump may soon find himself on the witness stand.

As the Epstein file saga resurfaces, Trump has launched a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the paper of malicious and politically motivated reporting tied to newly released Epstein documents.

Filed in Florida, the lawsuit targets specific journalists and references a book published ahead of the 2024 election.

Trump claims the coverage damaged his reputation, family, and brand, calling the Times a “radical left mouthpiece.”

This legal action follows previous lawsuits against other media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, where Trump demanded retractions over similar coverage.

However, legal analysts caution that this move could backfire. Unlike prior settlements—such as the one with CBS over the Kamala Harris interview—this case is different.

It may trigger a broader legal process, including discovery, which could compel Trump and others to testify under oath.

Depositions could expose more details than Trump intends to reveal.

While lawsuits of this scale are rarely filed over trivial matters, the First Amendment protects press freedom, and experts argue that the $15 billion claim may be difficult to substantiate.

With growing public demand for transparency around the Epstein files, this lawsuit could open the door to even deeper scrutiny—making it a potentially risky maneuver for Trump.

This blog will be updated as more news on this case emerges.
