On September 16, COINOTAG News reported that U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. The complaint asserts that the newspaper’s reporting inflicted reputational and commercial harm to him, his business interests, the social platform Truth Social, and the related TRUMP cryptocurrency initiative.
The filing characterizes the dispute as one of reputational damage with measurable commercial implications, introducing potential litigation risk for affected stakeholders. Market participants are advised to track verified court filings, regulatory disclosures and documentary evidence, since any financial or operational impacts will be determined through formal legal processes and judicial rulings rather than conjecture.
