ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Florida federal judge on Friday tossed out a $ 15 billion defamation lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump against The New York Times.

U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday ruled that Trump’s lawsuit was overly long and was full of “tedious and burdensome” language that had no bearing on the legal case.
