FIRST ON FOX — President Donald Trump refiled his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times on Thursday after it was previously thrown out of court due to its length. 

The amended complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for Florida’s Middle District in Tampa, accuses The New York Times of defamation, citing two articles published in 2024 and a book authored by two Times reporters last year. He is seeking $15 billion plus punitive damages. 

"President Trump is continuing to hold the Fake News responsible through this powerhouse lawsuit against the New York Times, its reporters, and Penguin Random House," a spokesman for Trump's legal team told Fox News Digital. 

JUDGE TOSSES OUT TRUMP'S $15 BILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST NEW YORK TIMES FOR BEING TOO LONG

The named defendants are The New York Times Company, reporters Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner, Peter Baker and Michael S. Schmidt, and Penguin Random House, publisher of "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success," which was authored by Craig and Buettner.

Fox News Digital reached out to The New York Times and Penguin Random House for comment. 

TRUMP ANNOUNCES $15 BILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR DEFAMATION, LIBEL

Last month, a federal judge tossed the lawsuit, which was previously 85 pages long, and gave him 28 days to file a new complaint that had to be under 40 pages. The amended complaint is 40 pages. The New York Times called the lawsuit "meritless" last month. 

The revised suit alleges defamation pertaining to The Times' reporting on Trump's stint as star of "The Apprentice" and allegations he engaged in suspect tax maneuvers. 

This lawsuit follows others Trump had filed against ABC News, CBS News and The Wall Street Journal. Trump has already secured eight-figure settlements against ABC News and CBS News over the past year. 

ABC agreed to pay $15 million last December as a charitable contribution to a future presidential museum or foundation to settle Trump's defamation lawsuit. The suit was prompted by anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly saying on the air Trump had previously been held liable for rape, rather than sexual abuse. It also paid $1 million in legal fees.

Trump also launched an "election interference" lawsuit against CBS over its "60 Minutes" interview of then-Vice President Kamala Harris last year, saying its editing decisions amounted to deceiving the public. Ahead of a planned $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, CBS parent company Paramount settled the lawsuit in July to a total that could be upwards of $30 million.

Keith Urban was forced to cancel his South Carolina concert as he recovers from a mild illness.

The 57-year-old country singer had been scheduled to perform Thursday night at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, as part of his High and Alive tour but canceled at the last minute.

The venue's website released a statement saying, "Keith Urban has been advised by his longtime laryngologist Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel his performance in Greenville, SC tonight at Bon Secours Wellness Arena due to laryngitis which began earlier this week.  He has been placed on complete vocal rest and Dr. Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his Nashville show."

The statement also included a personal message from Urban apologizing to fans for the sudden cancellation.

KEITH URBAN SEEN FOR FIRST TIME SINCE NICOLE KIDMAN DIVORCE FILING

"Hey Greenville,  I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show …. I know all the logistics it takes to get to a concert these days and I’ve never taken any of that, or any of YOU for granted," he said. "I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!"

The cancellation comes just weeks after Urban and his estranged wife, Nicole Kidman, filed for divorce after nearly 20 years of marriage.

News of their separation broke Sept. 29, with Kidman filing for divorce the following day. According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Kidman cited "irreconcilable differences" and ongoing "marital difficulties" as their reason for their split and listed Sept. 30 as their date of separation.

"Nicole’s sister [Antonia] has been a rock, and the entire Kidman family has come together to support one another," a source told People when the news broke.

"She didn’t want this," the source added. "She has been fighting to save the marriage."

In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, published Oct. 9, Kidman discussed how she copes with difficult situations by drawing comparisons to similar experiences she has had in the past.

While she didn't name Urban outright, she explained that she has learned new ways to deal with hardship as she gets older, saying, "The best part is the experiences that you've accumulated," because, at a certain point, she can look at a situation and think, "Oh, I’ve been here before. I actually know how to handle this now.

"There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful or how difficult or how devastating something is, there is a way through," she told the outlet. "You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it's going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly — and it can take an enormous amount of time — it does pass."
