Judge permanently dismisses Trump's lawsuit against Wall Street Journal over Epstein letter
A federal judge has permanently dismissed President Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting of an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.
A federal judge in Miami on Saturday permanently dismissed President Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch and the newspaper's parent company over coverage of an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump had initially sought $20 billion in damages, later reduced to $10 billion. The judge ruled that Trump failed to establish 'actual malice', the legal standard public figures must meet when pursuing defamation claims. The dismissal is permanent and Trump cannot refile the case. Trump's legal team said he plans to appeal the ruling.
