Donald Trump sues writer for calling him a millionaire

Donald Trump is suing a writer for claiming he is a millionaire and not a billionaire.

The real estate mogul has launched a lawsuit against Timothy L. O'Brien who questioned Trump's net worth in article in 2005.

Trump claims his reputation and brand were damaged and that he missed out on business opportunities because of the story.



A judge said that she would rule within two months on whether the case should be dismissed before it gets a chance to go to trial.

Neither man was in Superior Court in Camden for a hearing on Monday.

Trump said O'Brien, now an editor at The New York Times, knew the lower estimates were not true and that it was malicious to include them.
