“Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual “mouthpiece” for the Radical Left Democrat Party,” Trump wrote.

He went on to attack the paper’s campaign coverage.

This is not the first time Trump has sued media outlets.

In July, he filed a $10 billion defamation Lawsuit against the The Wall Street Journal and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

In that Lawsuit, Trump took issue with a story that reported on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
