A federal judge dismissed former President Donald Trump’s $10‑billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch on Saturday, according to CBC News.
The suit accused the newspaper and its owner of defamation over articles examining Trump’s connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died in custody while facing sex‑trafficking charges. The judge ruled the case lacked merit.
The Wall Street Journal’s reporting was based on publicly available information and previous coverage of Epstein’s network, and the dismissal represents a legal loss for Trump, who has frequently pursued litigation against media outlets over unfavorable coverage.
