Timothy O’Brien, the New York Times business journalist who wrote a book last year about real estate developer Donald Trump, must reveal his sources who told him that Trump was just a millionaire, not a billionaire, according to a judge’s ruling, the Philadephia Inquirer reported.
O’Brien became the Sunday business editor for the Times in May.
“Trump sued for $5 billion, saying he had lost that much in business deals and a damaged reputation.
“Trump has refused to divulge his net worth. Forbes magazine has valued his interests at $2.7 billion.
“‘It was a very good day for Donald Trump,’ said his lawyer, William M. Tambussi, even though Trump’s casino bid in Philadelphia was rejected.
“Tambussi said he would add O’Brien’s sources to the lawsuit once he learned their names.”
