Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> must pay The New York Times and three of its reporters hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, a judge <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24359048/trump-fee-decision.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ordered last week</a>.
The ruling was the latest development in Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-files-100m-lawsuit-against-the-new-york-times-niece-over-leaked-tax-records" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$100 million lawsuit</a> accusing the newspaper, its journalists — Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner — and his estranged niece Mary Trump of engaging in an <a href="https://www.baynews9.com/ap-online/2021/09/22/trump-sues-niece-ny-times-over-records-behind-18-tax-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;insidious plot&#8221;</a> to obtain his confidential tax information for a series that was published in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/03/nyregion/donald-trump-new-york-times-lawsuit.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>.
New York Judge Robert Reed, who dismissed the Times and reporters from the suit in May in a judgment citing First Amendment protections, <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24359048-trump-fee-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an order that a &#8220;complexity of issues&#8221; warranted Trump cover nearly $400,000 in attorney&#8217;s fees, legal expenses, and costs.
Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoads Ha <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/12/media/donald-trump-new-york-times-legal-fees/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a celebratory statement heralding the decision as showing how the <a href="https://www.law360.com/articles/1704784/how-courts-are-wrestling-with-ny-anti-slapp-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expanded anti-SLAPP law</a> in New York can be &#8220;a powerful force for protecting press freedom.&#8221;
The judge also <a href="https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=2HL1vNG7//aO0ms/d3z0_PLUS_g==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected a request</a> by Mary Trump, who was accused of breaching a settlement agreement by disclosing tax documents, to pause the case while she appeals a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-09/trump-suit-against-niece-over-ny-times-story-allowed-to-proceed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June decision</a> that allowed the suit against her to advance.
&#8220;While we are disappointed that the NY Times is no longer in this matter, we are pleased that the Court once again affirmed the strength of our claims against Mary and is denying her attempt to avoid accountability,&#8221; Trump attorney Alina Habba <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/12/media/donald-trump-new-york-times-legal-fees/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN</a>. &#8220;We look forward to proceeding with our claims against her.&#8221;

Trump is facing a flurry of criminal cases and civil litigation as he runs a third campaign for the presidency, seeking a second term in the White House. Despite the legal hurdles, which also include efforts to remove him from the ballot, Trump remains the frontrunner in polls looking at the GOP nomination contest.
When Trump sued his niece, The New York Times, and its reporters in 2021, he accused them of being &#8220;motivated by a personal vendetta&#8221; against him, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-new-york-times-taxes-lawsuit-slapp-f39342501d9a2a5cfd36181f9f336215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Associated Press</a>. Mary Trump filed a counterclaim against her uncle in July, alleging his lawsuit was designed to &#8220;chill her and others from criticizing him in the future.&#8221;

Mary Trump, the leftist niece of former President Donald Trump, blasted Susan Sarandon after the actress ripped the Democratic Party for “sitting on their hands for the last two years.”
Trump was speaking on the MeidasTouch podcast on Thursday.
“She&#8217;s a complete idiot,” Trump raged, according to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mary-trump-slams-susan-sarandon-as-a-moron-for-democrats-criticism-2022-5">Business Insider</a>. “She doesn&#8217;t know what she&#8217;s talking about, and if anybody can say with a straight face that the Democrats are the problem, I don&#8217;t know what to tell them.”
“She was pretty decent in a couple of movies a couple of decades ago, but politically she&#8217;s a moron,” Trump snapped.

Sarandon had reacted to a tweet from leftist California Congressman Eric Swalwell in which he stated, “There is one and only one way to preserve #RoeVWade and protect a women&#8217;s right to choose and that&#8217;s to #VoteBlueIn2022.”
“A lot of good that did in 2020,” Sarandon responded. “Dems are going to use this to fundraise and get you to vote for them again despite sitting on their hands for the last two years. Instead of actually standing for anything, their only strategy is scaring you into voting blue.”

“I cannot even tell you how much it enrages me,” Trump said. “She&#8217;s an idiot, but she thinks she&#8217;s some wise shaman or something.”
“Trump said the actress was a victim of the ‘Dunning-Kruger effect’ — a cognitive bias in which people with low ability overestimate their capabilities,” Business Insider noted.
In 2020, Mary Trump’s book “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” was released. Former President Trump’s younger brother Robert had argued in court that publishing the book would violate confidentiality agreements members of the Trump family agreed to in 2001 in order to settle an inter-family dispute over inheritance.
The book’s description stated, “In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.”
In February, Sarandon sparked rage on social media after she mocked the massive funeral procession along New York City’s Fifth avenue for slain NYPD officer Jason Rivera, 22, by tweeting, “I&#8217;m gonna tell my kids this is what fascism looks like.”
That caption accompanied a photo of the funeral procession. Above the photo, she taunted, “&#8217;So, if all these cops weren&#8217;t needed for CRIME that day, doesn&#8217;t that mean they aren&#8217;t needed ANY day?”

Rivera and his partner Wilbert Mora, 27, who also died, were ambushed and shot in Harlem while responding to a domestic call.
Social media expressed their anger: The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York responded, “This is what privilege looks like: a wealthy actress, safe in her bubble, mocking heroes &amp; making light of the crisis that cops are battling alongside our communities. NYC is uniting to stop the violence — @SusanSarandon is living on a different planet.”

MSNBC host Joy Reid stood by comments she made last fall that questioned the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, justifying her months-long bout of vaccine hesitancy on the grounds that then-President Donald Trump is a “psychopath.”
“I have taken a lot of heat for having said back in September that, if Donald Trump remained president, I wouldn’t trust anything that was coming out in terms of vaccines that he was offering, and that it was difficult to trust the CDC after he had warped it so thoroughly, and that, even if he wasn&#8217;t president, it would be difficult to restore that kind of trust,” Reid said.
Last fall, Reid <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1307417988526673926">asked</a>, “[W]hy would any sensible person take a vaccine Trump had anything to do with?” In November, she <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1325818947803996160">tweeted</a>, “Just speaking for myself, I wouldn&#8217;t go near anything that Trump or his politicized FDA had anything to do with.”
<a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1325818947803996160">https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1325818947803996160</a>
Reid also amplified others who cast doubt on the efficacy of the vaccine, inviting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-fall-of-andrew-cuomo-how-an-empire-built-on-fear-came-crashing-down">New York Governor Andrew Cuomo</a> on her show to discuss the issue on September 25. Governor Cuomo had <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/24/andrew-cuomo-has-a-plan-to-slow-roll-covid-19-vaccine-in-new-york/">said</a>, since “there are now serious questions about whether or not the vaccine has become politicized,” he would appoint two committees of “experts” to review the vaccine before he distributed it. “I want to make sure that we know it’s safe,” he said. The president <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/25/trump-rips-cuomo-over-plan-to-delay-covid-19-vaccine-in-new-york/">responded</a> that Cuomo’s actions would “put New York at the end of the vaccine list” by delaying distribution.
Joy Reid tried to spin the president’s message into a threat. “Is Donald Trump saying that somehow he could withhold a vaccine from the State of New York?” Reid <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/audio-rush-transcript-governor-cuomo-guest-msnbcs-reid-out-joy-reid">asked</a> Governor Cuomo, who agreed that was precisely what the president said.
But Reid doubled down on those remarks Thursday night, saying the former president bears the blame for her campaign against the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccine.
“I said that because, in my mind, a psychopath was president. And if a psychopath is telling you, this vaccine — which is really for my reelection — is what you should take, there’s a good reason not to trust that,” she continued.
“But now there’s not a psychopath in the White House,” said Reid, who announced earlier in the program that she had just returned from a two-week vacation with Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza.
Reid then asked her guest — President Trump’s estranged niece, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tell-all-trump-book-sells-nearly-one-million-copies-through-first-day">Mary Trump</a> — if President Joe Biden’s election might somehow convince more people to get vaccinated.
“Do you think that there’s some way to shift, kind of, the attitudes of people who are just hesitant, based on the fact that, ‘Look, guys, there’s not a madman there now. You should really think about it’? Do you know — how do we even get to that conversation?”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Mary Trump: Donald Trump Would End American Experiment For His Empowerment" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yqo8cQDzRv4?start=363&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Mary Trump said that the Left’s vaccine messaging is “complicated” by the fact that conservatives often point out how their shifting position appears to follow a party line — something Mary Trump felt is wholly defensible.
“The Right is very good at mirroring the Left’s strategies,” she said. “We rightly call them fascists: They erroneously and falsely call us Marxist, communist socialists, whatever that means.”
“We rightly say, ‘I am skeptical that a mass murderer can be trusted when it comes to a vaccine because he’s likely to just say it’s effective to gain voters,’ right? Whereas, now we rightly say, ‘You can trust the government in this instance.’”
“We’re in a bit of a bind, shall we say,” she concluded.
“Yes,” Reid agreed, returning to her theme that the Biden-Harris administration deserves the nation’s unquestioning trust.
“You can trust the government when it’s in the hands of someone sane,” she said. “I think that’s the point. And it’s hard, I guess, to make that point any way subtly.”
But that contradicts what Reid said last fall. At the time, Reid argued that it would make no difference whether Trump or Biden won the 2020 election because President Trump had permanently transformed the federal bureaucracy into a MAGA movement.
On September 17, Reid <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1306762734076342273">asked</a>, “will anyone &#8230; anyone at all &#8230; ever fully trust the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] again? And who on God&#8217;s earth would trust a vaccine approved by the [Food and Drug Administration]?? How do we get a vaccine distributed after this broken, Trumpist nonsense has infected everything? Even if Biden wins?”
But by April, Reid’s views had <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/07/30/public-figures-trust-trump-vaccine-shaming-unvaccinated-kamala-harris/">changed</a> markedly, as she endorsed the concept of private businesses denying services to anyone who remained unvaccinated by choice. “Vaccine-only access to some businesses like bars, gyms, restaurants etc. makes sense to me,” she <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1387132987599429636?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1387132987599429636%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2021%2F07%2F30%2Fpublic-figures-trust-trump-vaccine-shaming-unvaccinated-kamala-harris%2F">tweeted</a>. “If people choose to be unvaxxed, they can just miss out.”

Mary Trump, the estranged niece of President Donald Trump, has joined the ranks of left-wing political figures advocating for expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court as retaliation if Republicans fill the vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg back in September with Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit.
“The republicans stole a Supreme Court seat from President Obama in order to install Gorsuch. They are again corrupting the process in order to install Barrett. Expanding the court to right those wrongs wouldn&#8217;t be court-packing, it would be justice,” she said.

Trump, who recently gained widespread attention for her tell-all book about the president’s family — &#8220;Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World&#8217;s Most Dangerous Man&#8221; — is the latest left-wing figure to advocate for court packing.
Court-packing has long been associated with President Franklin Roosevelt, who tried to expand the Supreme Court with one additional justice for every sitting justice over the age of 70 who refused to retire from the bench. The legislation, which was dubbed the “<a href="https://www.history.com/news/franklin-roosevelt-tried-packing-supreme-court">court-packing plan</a>” at the time, did not succeed.
However, Mary Trump’s tweet is also indicative of a new talking point that has been floated by some Democrats in recent weeks: Republicans filling vacancies on the court, through a Constitutional process, is also a form of “court-packing.”
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the chairman of the House Democratic caucus, tweeted as much on Sunday when he declared that people should stop asking Democrats about court-packing because Republicans are the ones doing it.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Stop asking Dems about packing the Court.
We aren’t doing it.
They are.
In order to take away our healthcare.
— Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJeffries/status/1315276370419879937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 11, 2020</a></blockquote>
During a debate with Senator Steve Daines (R-MT), Montana Governor Steve Bullock, who is running for U.S. Senate, bizarrely claimed that court-packing could be a way to make the Supreme Court less political, rather than more so.
Daines promptly hit Bullock for the comment, calling it a “profound moment,” and an answer not even Democratic nominee Joe Biden was willing to provide to the public.
Bullock responded by accusing the GOP of court packing: “You just did pack the Court, Senator Daines. Four years ago, you said, ‘No, we should never confirm a justice when people are voting. Let the people decide,’ and now that’s the most important thing to you,” said Bullock, adding: “You are packing the court right now.”
The confirmation hearings for Barrett to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court — a process that does not fit the definition of court-packing — begin Monday, October 12.

Mary L. Trump, niece to President Donald Trump, blasted her uncle for his debate performance last night, singling out, especially, when Trump interrupted Democratic nominee Joe Biden while he was talking about his late son, Beau.
“Interrupting Vice President Biden&#8217;s comments about his son Beau to pivot to lies about Hunter Biden should alone totally disqualify Donald. What a disgrace. What a traitor,” Mary Trump tweeted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Toward the end of Tuesday night&#8217;s debate, Biden mentioned his son while hitting at Trump for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anonymous-sources-tell-mag-trump-called-dead-troops-losers-5-witnesses-go-on-record-to-dispute" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">allegedly calling dead soldiers &#8220;suckers&#8221; and &#8220;losers&#8221;</a> when his trip to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris was canceled in 2018. Trump has denied making such comments, which were reported by The Atlantic based on anonymous sources.
“My son was in Iraq. He spent a year there,” Biden said. &#8220;He was not a loser. He was a patriot. And the people left behind there were heroes.&#8221;
Shifting to Biden&#8217;s other son, Hunter, Trump said, “Oh, really? Are you talking about Hunter?&#8221; When Biden said he was referring to Beau, Trump replied, “I don&#8217;t know Beau, I know Hunter.&#8221; Trump then claimed Hunter was dishonorably discharged from the Navy in 2014 after he used cocaine, though he received an administrative discharge.
Mary Trump published a book over the summer titled &#8220;Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,&#8221; which sold nearly 1 million copies on its first day. As The Daily Wire reported:
<blockquote>“There is only one word that can be used to describe the sales of Mary Trump’s memoir and that word is HUGE,” Simon &amp; Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp said in a statement. “Too Much and Never Enough has entered the national conversation in a way that few books ever do, becoming a cultural phenomenon and must-read for anyone seeking to understand the singular family dynamic that produced the most powerful man in the world today.”
The president and his siblings attempted to stop their niece’s book, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-niece-to-publish-tell-all-book-on-president-reveals-she-was-primary-source-for-trump-tax-story">contains</a> embarrassing details about the Trump family, from being published and distributed. The president’s younger brother Robert had argued in court that publishing the book would violate confidentiality agreements that members of the Trump family agreed to in 2001 to settle an inter-family dispute over inheritance.
[&#8230;]
The book contains an insider’s view of a contentious court case that split the Trump family in 2000 after Mary and her brother Fred III, the children of Fred Trump Jr. who died in 1981 from alcoholism at the age of 42, sued their aunt and uncles over their grandfather’s estate. After Fred Trump died in 1999, Mary and Fred III sued their family alleging that the president and his siblings had cut them out of the will.</blockquote>

Trump’s book, a memoir, titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” has also sold more copies through its first day than former national security adviser John Bolton’s book sold through its first week. Bolton’s book, titled “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” sold roughly 780,000 copies through its first week.
“There is only one word that can be used to describe the sales of Mary Trump’s memoir and that word is HUGE,” Simon &amp; Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp said in a statement. “Too Much and Never Enough has entered the national conversation in a way that few books ever do, becoming a cultural phenomenon and must-read for anyone seeking to understand the singular family dynamic that produced the most powerful man in the world today.”
The president and his siblings attempted to stop their niece’s book, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-niece-to-publish-tell-all-book-on-president-reveals-she-was-primary-source-for-trump-tax-story">contains</a> embarrassing details about the Trump family, from being published and distributed. The president’s younger brother Robert had argued in court that publishing the book would violate confidentiality agreements that members of the Trump family agreed to in 2001 to settle an inter-family dispute over inheritance.
Mary Trump won the legal battle on Monday after Dutchess County Supreme Court Judge Hal Greenwald vacated a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-orders-a-temporary-stay-on-trump-tell-all-book">stay</a> placed on the book, allowing Simon &amp; Schuster to move forward with the July 14 release.
“There is no doubt that the Book is out in the public eye in significant quantities,” Greenwald said, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-niece-wins-legal-battle-over-tell-all-book-11594682859">The Wall Street Journal</a>. “Removing hundreds of thousands of books from all types of booksellers,” would be “a logistical nightmare” and “an insurmountable task.”
The book contains an insider’s view of a contentious court case that split the Trump family in 2000 after Mary and her brother Fred III, the children of Fred Trump Jr. who died in 1981 from alcoholism at the age of 42, sued their aunt and uncles over their grandfather’s estate. After Fred Trump died in 1999, Mary and Fred III sued their family alleging that the president and his siblings had cut them out of the will.
In the legal battle over the tell-all book, the battle lines were similarly drawn, except Fred III refused to take a side and distanced himself from his sister.
“I have learned only recently that my younger sister, Mary, is writing a tell-all book which is advertised to be highly critical of the Trump family and especially of our uncle, Donald J. Trump,” he said in June. “My wife, children, and I have a strong relationship with our extended family and have had no involvement or interest in the preparation of this book.”
