An Oklahoma judge removes the University of New Brunswick (UNB) from a defamation lawsuit. The case is filed by a Pennsylvania state senator who has ties to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Global News and the Winnipeg Free Press report that UNB is removed as a defendant by the judge. The outlets describe the dispute as a defamation action brought in Oklahoma, with the plaintiff seeking legal redress in relation to alleged statements he says are defamatory. Both sources present the removal of the university as the key procedural development.

Neither outlet provides additional details in the supplied text about the underlying allegations, the reasons given by the judge for removing UNB, or whether other defendants remain in the case. The differing emphasis across outlets, based on the limited information provided, is primarily on the court action and the parties involved rather than on substantive issues of the defamation claim.
