A federal judge in Tampa, Florida, rejected the Dollars Dollars of President Donald Times on Friday on Friday of $ 15 billion dollars against the New York Times as “resolutely inappropriate and inadmissible”, but allows Trump to restart a much shorter and less flowery civil complaint over the month.

Judge Steven Merryday criticized the long trial of Trump – who accuses time to be a “spokesperson” for the Democratic Party – for having been too long for praise for the president and “superfluous allegations”.

Trump said later: “I win, I win the cases”, after ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl, underlined at an oval office event that Merryday had thrown his trial.

Trump then attacked Karl, saying: “You are guilty, Jon, you are guilty. ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair network, and you should be ashamed of yourself. NBC is just as bad. I don’t know who is worse.”

Merryday noted the trial of Trump, which was not deposited until Monday, “consumes” 85 pages, and that the two civil accounts of Trump against the newspaper are only detailed in the last pages, after many pages of fulmination on the enemies of Trump and to boast of his commercial and political achievements.

“As each lawyer knows (where knowledge is presumed), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective – not a protected platform for rage against an opponent,” wrote Merryday, who was appointed to the federal bench by former president George Hw Bush.

“A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate prayer during a political rally or the functional equivalent of the corner of the speakers of Hyde Park,” said the judge, referring to the famous London free haven.

Merryday gave Trump and his lawyers 28 days to bring a modified legal action against Times, four of his journalists, and Penguin Random House, who were all appointed defendants in the initial complaint.

But he warned them not to make more than 40 pages, “excluding only the legend, the signature and any attachment”.

“This action will begin, continue and end in accordance with the rules of procedure and in a professional and worthy manner,” wrote the judge.

Penguin was appointed in the complaint because Trump’s lawyers said he had “published a false,
Malveillant and defamatory book entitled “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump dilapidated his father’s fortune and created the illusion of success” by two of Times journalists appointed in the costume, Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner.

A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team, in a statement to CNBC on the judge’s order, said: “President Trump will continue to hold the false news in charge of this legal action against the New York Times, his journalists and Penguin Random House, in accordance with the management of the judge on logistics.”

A Times spokesman said: “We welcome the judge’s rapid decision, who acknowledged that the complaint was a political document rather than a serious legal deposit.”
