Upset at reports that he'd given up, Trump now wants $1B from Harvard

Former President Donald Trump is seeking $1 billion in damages from Harvard University and the New York Times, upset by reports that he had given up on a lawsuit against the university. The lawsuit, which was initially filed in 2021, alleged that the university conspired with the newspaper to disparage Trump's academic records. The lawsuit claimed that the Times reported a money-free settlement between Trump and Harvard, which the former president denies. Trump's lawyers argue that this reporting caused him significant damage, leading him to seek the substantial financial compensation. The case is the latest in a series of legal battles involving Trump, who has frequently used the courts to address perceived grievances. The outcome of this lawsuit could have broader implications for the relationship between public figures, the media, and academic institutions.
