The court has definitively rejected Trump's lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.

A U.S. judge dismissed Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, citing First Amendment protections. Trump claimed the newspaper published false information regarding a message he allegedly wrote for Jeffrey Epstein's birthday. The judge ruled that the lawsuit contradicted constitutional free speech rights and previously rejected a related defamation case. Trump's lawyers argued the Journal should have disregarded information obtained during their investigation, but the court found no grounds for the claim.
