Palin gets another bite...
-
Sarah Palin and the New York Times have explored trying to settle the former Alaska governor and Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate's closely watched defamation case against the newspaper, their lawyers said on Tuesday.
The disclosures came during a phone conference where U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan scheduled a retrial for April 14, 2025.
That followed a federal appeals court's decision in August to throw out a February 2022 verdict in the Times' favor, saying it was tainted by several of the judge's rulings. -
The New York Times did not libel former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in a 2017 editorial that contained an error she claimed had damaged her reputation, a jury concluded Tuesday.

The jury deliberated a little over two hours before reaching its verdict. A judge and a different jury had reached the same conclusion about Palin's defamation claims in 2022, but her lawsuit was revived by an appeals court.https://www.npr.org/2025/04/22/g-s1-62157/new-york-times-alaska-governor-sarah-palin-libel
