Judge dismisses Trump's $10B lawsuit over the Wall Street Journal's Epstein reporting

A federal judge in Florida dismissed President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its parent company, Dow Jones, over a July 2024 article about a letter purportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.

A federal judge in Florida dismissed President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its parent company, Dow Jones, over a July 2024 article about a letter purportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.

U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles ruled that Trump had not "plausibly alleged" the article was published with "actual malice," a legal standard requiring proof that a defendant knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.

The Journal's July 17 article described a letter bearing Trump's signature in a 2003 birthday album compiled for Epstein, featuring typewritten text framed by a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman. Trump denied writing the letter, calling the story "false, malicious, and defamatory."

Gayles noted that before publication, Journal reporters contacted Trump, Justice Department officials and the FBI for comment. The judge dismissed the complaint without prejudice, giving Trump until April 27 to file an amended lawsuit.

The letter was later released publicly by the House Oversight Committee, which obtained it via subpoena from Epstein's estate. The 238-page birthday book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of facilitating Epstein's sexual abuse of minors.

Trump's lawsuit named News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, CEO Robert Thomson, Dow Jones and two Journal reporters as defendants. A Dow Jones spokesperson said the company stood "behind the reliability, rigor and accuracy" of the Journal's reporting.
