In 2021, Trump sued the NYT and three of its journalists for conspiring with his niece Marry Trump to gain access to his tax records for a series of articles on the then US president’s finances, Business Insider recalled.
The newspaper published a series of articles in 2018, for which the newspaper and its authors not only attracted great public attention, but were also awarded a Pulitzer Prize.
Judge Robert Reed of the state Supreme Court in Manhattan dismissed Trump’s lawsuit last May, saying the legal system “has long recognized that reporters have the right to engage in lawful and routine news activities,” the BBC wrote.
However, the judge has only now quantified the exact amount Trump owes the newspaper and publishers as a result of his court loss: $392,638.69. This escaped the attention of Susan Craig, one of the sued journalists who signed the articles. She shared the court document ordering Trump to pay the amount owed on the social network X.

Trump also filed a separate lawsuit against his niece in connection with the case, which is still pending in court. In his lawsuit, former US President Mary Trump alleges a breach of confidentiality when the NYT revealed information about Trump’s tax records.
