Judge permanently dismisses Trump's $10bn Wall Street Journal lawsuit
A US federal judge has permanently thrown out Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.
A federal judge in Miami has permanently dismissed President Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, ruling the president failed to prove the newspaper acted with 'actual malice' when publishing a story about an alleged birthday letter Trump purportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. Judge Darrin Gayles dismissed the case with prejudice on Saturday, meaning Trump cannot refile or amend it. The judge said Trump's allegations were 'grasping at straws' and attempted to 'manufacture flaws' with the newspaper's investigation. Trump's legal team said the president plans to appeal the ruling.
