Federal Judge Dismisses Trump's Defamation Lawsuit Against Wall Street Journal

A federal judge has dismissed President Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, allowing him to refile the case after it was initially tossed due to a technicality related to the timing of the lawsuit. Trump had sued the newspaper for its reporting on a lewd birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing his name. The judge's decision means that Trump will have another chance to pursue the lawsuit against the Journal, which had published a story about the letter in 2019.
