U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said the trial can begin Feb. 3 if Palin, 57, has recovered by then. “Since she has tested positive three times, I’m going to assume she’s positive,” the judge said. She's seeking unspecified damages, saying the Times hurt her budding career as a political commentator. In pretrial testimony, Bennet cited deadline pressures as he explained that he did not personally research the information about Palin’s political action committee before approving the editorial’s publication.

Former Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is on the verge of making new headlines in a legal battle with The New York Times.

NEW YORK — (AP) — Well over a decade after she emerged on the national stage as a Republican vice-presidential nominee, Sarah Palin is on the verge of making new headlines in a legal battle with The New York Times. A defamation lawsuit against the Times, brought by the brash former Alaska governor in 2017, is set to go to trial starting Monday in federal court in Manhattan. Palin, 57, claims the Times damaged her reputation with an opinion piece penned by its editorial board that falsely asserted her political rhetoric helped incite the 2011 shooting of then-Arizona U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords. In a correction two days later, The Times said the editorial had “incorrectly stated that a link existed between political rhetoric and the 2011 shooting” and that it had “incorrectly described” the map. The disputed wording had been added to the editorial by James Bennet, then the editorial page editor.

A judge has delayed trial for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's defamation claims against The New York Times after she tested positive for the coronavirus three times.

Sarah Palin couldn't take the Alaska senator out. Donald Trump just might.

People in the United States no longer agree on the nation’s purpose, values, history, or meaning. Is reconciliation possible?

President Joe Biden speaks about the American Rescue Plan, a coronavirus relief package, in the Rose Garden of the White House, Friday, March 12, 2021, in Washington. Biden signed the bill into law Thursday and then extolled it in a prime-time address to the nation that night. He predicted that Biden would be equally relentless in selling the relief package this time. “This is so important that it is literally something you say during the last rally of your reelection campaign.”Biden is expected to appoint someone to oversee implementation of the COVID-19 relief plan. AdBiden’s White House has embraced the strategy of under-promising and then over-delivering, allowing it to frequently beat target dates and goals on, for instance, vaccine distribution.

WASHINGTON – When a party loses the White House, a new crop of presidential hopefuls typically begin moving quickly to lay the groundwork for a run in the next campaign. President Donald Trump's increasingly overt flirtations with running again in 2024 are freezing the potentially vast field of Republican candidates. GOP White House hopefuls are essentially left to watch what Trump does next instead of courting fundraisers, building networks and visiting early-voting states — the usual campaign planning steps — for fear of angering Trump and risking turning off his large and loyal base. That followed comments during a White House Christmas party this past week when Trump said, "We’re trying to do another four years. His supporters argue that if Trump did run, Hogan would enjoy a near-open lane unlike the one crowded with Trump defenders.

During the past week, Trump told Sean Hannity of Fox News that Harris would assume the presidency within “three months” of Biden's inauguration. During a conversation with Rush Limbaugh, he warned that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would “replace” Biden with Harris. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Trump ally, is pushing the president to make Harris a campaign centerpiece. “This is a desire not to run against Joe Biden, to run against anybody but Joe Biden,” he said. Biden and Harris can best respond to the attacks by focusing on their agenda and policies, said Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee of California.

Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden has chosen Harris as his running mate. In choosing Harris, Biden embraced a former rival from the Democratic primary who is familiar with the unique rigor of a national campaign. A woman has never served as president or vice president in the United States. Harris launched her presidential campaign in early 2019 with the slogan Kamala Harris For the People, a reference to her courtroom work. Some Biden confidants said Harris debate attack did irritate the former vice president, who had a friendly relationship with her.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sarah Palin said in an amended defamation lawsuit against the New York Times on Monday that the deep-seated animosity and ill-will of the newspapers editorial page editor toward her motivated him to falsely link her to a mass shooting. FILE PHOTO: Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin gets off the bus while campaigning for U.S. Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore at the Historic Union Station Train Shed in Montgomery, Alabama, U.S., September 21, 2017. The Times later corrected the editorial, saying there was no link between political rhetoric and the Giffords shooting. Bennet has said he had not intended to blame Palin for the Giffords shooting, but was simply making a point about the political environment. The case is Palin v New York Times Co et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No.

Sarah Palin told a Christian broadcaster she learned her husband was seeking a divorce in an email from his attorney. Palin said she received an email June 19 from the attorney, almost three months before Todd Palin filed for divorce on his birthday in September. Palin later said God doesn't want families to split up. A message seeking comment was left for an attorney believed to be representing Todd Palin. "Yeah, maybe that's why God has had them not be so interested lately" because God knew what was coming, she said.

The husband of former Alaska governor and one-time vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has apparently filed for divorce, according to a report. Todd Palin, 55, cited an "incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife," in a document filed Friday in Anchorage, according to the Anchorage Daily News. The filing uses initials, but the couple's wedding date and the birth date of son, Trig Palin, match, the paper reported. Sarah Palin, also 55, was elected governor in 2006.

Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin speaks while campaigning for U.S. Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore at the Historic Union Station Train Shed in Montgomery, Alabama, U.S., September 21, 2017. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the lower court judge who dismissed the complaint erred in hearing testimony from the Times editorial page editor before issuing the dismissal. We are disappointed in the decision and intend to continue to defend the action vigorously, Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha said in an email. Palin was Republican presidential candidate John McCains running mate in 2008, and also served as Alaskas governor. In dismissing the case in August 2017, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said the editorial included a few factual inaccuracies somewhat pertaining to Mrs. Palin that are very rapidly corrected.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday reversed a judge's decision dismissing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times for a 2017 editorial that suggested an image produced by Palin's political action committee incited the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona. The appeals court sent the case back to Rakoff, and directed the suit to proceed to the discovery phase, in which parties would begin taking depositions and collecting evidence from each other. That hearing was to assess whether Palin's defamation claim had "sufficient allegations of actual malice" by the Times. The Times editorial argued "that these two political shootings evidenced the 'vicious' nature of American politics," the appeals court ruling noted.
