A timeline of Trump’s fights with media, including Jimmy Kimmel and The New York Times

Multiple lawsuits and executive actions highlight Trump's ongoing legal battles with major U.S. media organizations over alleged biased reporting and retaliatory measures.

  • On July 18, President Donald Trump filed a $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times and a $10 billion suit against The Wall Street Journal, and sued ABC in March 2024 over coverage.
  • The Justice Department's interest in unsealing grand jury transcripts intersected with disputes over Epstein coverage, leading Trump to remove The Associated Press from the White House press pool on February 12.
  • This month, Paramount Global settled by paying $15 million, and ABC's settlement included a $15 million contribution, as U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday dismissed Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times.
  • Trump's May 1 executive order cut federal funding for PBS and NPR, while the Associated Press lost press access after a federal appeals court stayed an April First Amendment ruling; ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel amid regulatory pressure.
  • Regulatory pressure from Trump-appointed officials risks squeezing media companies, with the Morning Joe panel and John Heilemann warning these maneuvers intimidate critics and threaten Disney and ABC's independence.
