Court definitively rejected Trump's lawsuit. He wanted billions after a famous newspaper.

A U.S. court dismissed Donald Trump's lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, which he claimed damaged his reputation regarding ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The judge ruled Trump failed to prove the publication acted with actual malice. The lawsuit stemmed from a 2003 birthday message Trump allegedly sent to Epstein, which included explicit content. Epstein, a financier with connections to many influential figures, was found dead in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. The court noted that Trump's claims were unfounded and attempted to create deficiencies in the newspaper's investigative work.
