Sarah Palin has reportedly tested positive for Covid-19, potentially delaying the start of the trial in her defamation suit against the New York Times.
The delay was announced by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan at a hearing.Rakoff first announced that Palin had tested positive earlier Monday morning."She is, of course, unvaccinated," Rakoff said then.Jury selection for the trial was supposed to start Monday in Manhattan. Palin sued the paper in 2017 over an editorial that incorrectly linked the 2011 shooting of Rep.
The Times corrected the error and apologized for it, and a judge initially dismissed the case. But a federal appeals court revived it and, as a result, a trial will now take place.The case is, at its heart, about the limits of First Amendment protections and the standard set in the landmark New York Times vs. Sullivan case. Specifically, the standard that a public figure must prove an outlet operated with"actual malice" when it published defamatory information.
