The jury selection and trial in Sarah Palin’s libel lawsuit against The New York Times had been set to start on Monday, but there is an unexpected twist: The former Alaska governor tested positive for Covid.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff made the announcement at the beginning of the proceedings. “She is of course unvaccinated,” he said, per Reuters.
Rakoff told attorneys that he would wait until Palin has another, more reliable rapid PCR test at 10:15 AM before deciding whether to delay the proceedings, perhaps until Feb. 3.
Palin’s case is one of the rare instances of a libel suit against a major media outlet to go to trial, given the high bar that public figures have in proving defamation against media outlets.
Palin sued the Times in 2017 over an editorial she said falsely linked her political rhetoric to the 2011 shooting of Gabby Giffords in 2017. The Times corrected the editorial, conceding that it had incorrectly characterized a map from Palin’s political action committee that featured crosshairs over certain Democrats’ electoral districts, including Giffords.
The case was originally dismissed but was reversed on appeal.
Palin claims that the Times editorial damaged her reputation and that the Times correction were insufficient. “In fact, none mentioned Mrs. Palin or acknowledged that Mrs. Palin did not incite a deranged man to commit murder,” her attorneys wrote in their original complaint.
Palin had two positive antigen tests on Sunday, but Rakoff indicated that it was a “normal at home test whose reliability is not as high as the test that she will be taking today.” Palin has been outspoken against taking the vaccine.
The Times editorial was published on June 14, 2017. Earlier that day, James Hodgkinson opened fire on
