NEW YORK -- The judge presiding over the libel lawsuit brought by former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin against The New York Times said Wednesday that jurors knew before delivering their verdict that he’d already decided to rule against Palin but they said it didn't affect the outcome.U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said in a written order that several jurors told a law clerk after deciding against Palin on Tuesday that they had received news flashes on their phones about Rakoff’s Monday announcement that he'd toss out the lawsuit regardless of the verdict.“The jurors repeatedly assured the Court’s law clerk that these notifications had not affected them in any way or played any role whatever in their deliberations," Rakoff wrote.The judge invited lawyers to speak up if they wanted to challenge the verdict.

Mask up! Joy Behar, 79, went into the weekend with a warning for New Yorkers who may run into Sarah Palin, 57, as she’s been spotted in a few NYC hot spots, since testing positive for COVID-19. The comedian shaded the unvaccinated politician, while wishing viewers a good weekend on the Friday January 28 episode of the talk show. “Take a little time to enjoy The View, and if you see Sarah Palin, you better get tested,” she said.
As the show’s credits music played, Joy could be heard laughing that it’s possible that people based in the Empire State could bump into the former Alaska governor, who is in New York for a defamation trail against The New York Times, which has been delayed due to her positive test. “That’s all I have to say. In New York City, anyway, she’s around,” Joy quipped as the broadcast ended.
Sarah had reportedly tested positive for COVID on Tuesday January 25, and she was seen eating outside at the Italian eatery Elios that same day. She’d eaten inside the establishment on Saturday without presenting a vaccination card. The failed vice presidential candidate had also eaten at another restaurant Campagnola on Tuesday. “She showed up to apologize [on Wednesday, after her positive test] and was not allowed to come inside,” a rep for Elios told HollywoodLife. “It was a mistake that she was dining, and we take full responsibility for that.”

Ethan Shanfeld Sarah Palin’s defamation lawsuit against The New York Times will be dismissed, a federal judge announced on Monday, saying the former Alaska governor’s team failed to meet the court’s high standards for public figures to make their case.Palin’s team was unable to prove that the newspaper acted with actual malice when it published a 2017 editorial erroneously connecting Palin to a 2011 mass shooting in Tuscon, Ariz., NPR reported.
