Judge gives US president 28 days to refile action after saying original filing is full of ‘vituperation and invective’
A federal judge tossed Donald Trump’s $15bn defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, book publisher Penguin and two Times reporters, and said the suit was filled with “vituperation and invective” and violated civil procedure in federal cases for failing to get to the point.
US district court judge Steven Merryday in Florida will allow the president to refile and amend the action within 28 days, however.
