Trump Sues For Libel: You'll Never Guess Why . . .

Posted on May 18, 2009 by Adrianos Facchetti

. . . for underestimating Trump's net worth in a book!  Apparently, a New York Times writer wrote in a book that Trump's fortune was approximately $150-200 million.

Trump claimed that his net worth was more like $5 billion.  Quite a difference, right?

Anyhow, Trump brought a lawsuit for libel, claiming that he lost some deals as a result of the statement in the book.

None of this is relevant to California Defamation Law, but we can't always be serious.  Can we?
