Judge Dismisses Trump's $10B Defamation Lawsuit Against The Wall Street Journal Over Epstein Story

A federal judge has dismissed President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story on his ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The dismissal came after the Journal produced evidence that it had followed standard journalistic practices in reporting on the story. The judge found that the newspaper did not defame Trump or create a false impression about him. The decision marks a significant defeat for Trump's lawsuit, which was widely seen as a test of First Amendment protections for journalists.
