In a statement on Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for the Times said, "This lawsuit has no merit. It lacks any legitimate legal claims and instead is an attempt to stifle and discourage independent reporting. The New York Times will not be deterred by intimidation tactics. We will continue to pursue the facts without fear or favor and stand up for journalists' First Amendment right to ask questions on behalf of the American people."

How does one "defame" a thirty-four times convicted felon?

And OneRunt was just quoting them as an unimpeachable source! This must be so confusing for him.

But I bet the NYT doesn't knuckle under. They've had some practice at this. They have tangled with folks way smarter than the F-Troop crew.

He waved presidential immunity, probably unintentionally. This could be a gold mine for the New York Times as they force him into a deposition. Trump mentioned Epstein so the NYT can force him to answer questions about that. Trump possibly gave the NYT a golden interview opportunity backed by the force of law.

Should be thrown out and he should pay any lawyers fees associated with defending against the clear abuse of the judicial system.

Trump controls the DOJ. So who's going to do anything about it?

A better question might be, when is his staff going to hide him in an undisclosed location strapped to a gurney while they prep his body double for a limited, very brief, schedule of appearance, preferably from a blurred distance?

"Trump controls the DOJ. So who's going to do anything about it?"

1) Trump is federal. Is the lawsuit state or federal court?

2) Damning if he won't stand for a lawful deposition no?
