A federal judge on Saturday dismissed former President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, according to NPR. The suit stemmed from a Journal article reporting on Trump's connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. In his ruling, the judge described Trump's legal arguments as "grasping at straws," effectively ending the high‑profile case. The dismissal marks a legal win for the newspaper and underscores the difficulty public figures face in proving defamation against media outlets.
