Judge Rules Trump Must Pay New York Times' Legal Fees

A New York judge has ordered Donald Trump to pay The New York Times $392,638 in legal fees after his failed lawsuit against the newspaper regarding his tax records. Trump alleged a breach of confidentiality agreement and personal vendetta, but the case was dismissed last year. The judge ruled in favor of The New York Times, stating that reporters are entitled to engage in legal and news-gathering activities without fear of tort liability. Trump opposed the amount but the judge found it reasonable considering the complexity of the issues and the attorneys' success in dismissing the complaint.
