The New York Times has strongly countered President Trump's intimidation tactics regarding his ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against Paramount Global. Trump publicly targeted the Times for labeling his lawsuit as baseless, implying potential legal repercussions for the outlet's reporting. Despite these threats, the Times affirmed its commitment to journalistic integrity and the First Amendment, stating that intimidation will not deter its pursuit of factual reporting. As mediation talks began, Trump's aggressive social media campaign intensified, suggesting both fraud by CBS and possible liability for the Times.
President Trump's post today follows a long list of legal threats aimed at discouraging or penalizing independent reporting about the administration. The law is clear and protects a strong free press and favors an informed American public.
In response, a Times spokesperson emphasized that the publication will continue to pursue the facts without fear or favor and stand up for journalists' First Amendment rights.
