Judge dismisses Trump’s lawsuit against WSJ
Summary
A federal judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, and the journalists involved in reporting on a letter allegedly written by Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Darrin Gayles, based in Miami, ruled that Trump had not established a valid legal claim of defamation, stating he hadn’t demonstrated “actual malice” on the part of the defendants. The judge noted that Trump could file an amended lawsuit by April 27th if he chooses to do so. Representatives for both Trump and The Wall Street Journal’s publisher have not yet responded to requests for comment, according to reporting by Corinne Ramey of The Journal.
