The federal court for the Southern District of Florida has finally dismissed Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times writes. The plaintiff sought compensation for an article from 2025 that referred to his alleged letter to Jeffrey Epstein. The court ruled that the applicant failed to prove "actual malice" on the part of the editors, a required legal standard. The claim was dismissed while prohibiting its resubmission.
