CAMDEN, N.J. — There is one way to get Donald Trump down: Call him a millionaire. Trump says he’s a billionaire and is suing over a book in which unnamed sources put Trump’s net worth at between $150 million and $250 million. The Donald claims it was malicious, and it hurt his business.
A judge said Monday that she would rule within two months on whether the suit against writer Timothy L. O’Brien should be dismissed before it gets a chance to go to trial.
O’Brien’s lawyer, Andrew Ceresney, told the judge that Trump’s claims were false because the net-worth numbers were not made maliciously, because Trump can’t prove that he lost business as a result — and that there’s nothing hurtful about the claim. The Associated Press
