Sarah Palin Revives Lawsuit Against New York Times Over Editorial

On November 12, 2024, a New York federal judge is expected to decide on a new trial date for Sarah Palin's libel lawsuit against The New York Times. Previously, in 2017, the Times published an editorial suggesting a link between a mass shooting and Palin’s political graphic. The editorial misrepresented the events surrounding the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, which resulted in six deaths and numerous injuries. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge had made significant errors in the original case that affected the jury's verdict. The judge indicated that the new trial must occur by February 2025, with the possibility of an earlier date in December 2024.
