A legal ruling has reduced the amount a judge initially approved to cover a plaintiff’s legal fees in an ongoing defamation dispute, falling short of the original request. The decision comes as part of a broader financial dispute tied to the case, where the plaintiff sought reimbursement for expenses related to defending against the claims.
