Judge signals Trump’s defamation lawsuit against Wall Street Journal may be dismissed again

A federal judge in Florida appeared skeptical of Donald Trump's legal team's arguments regarding a $10bn defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch. The lawsuit stems from a 2025 article about a 'bawdy' letter allegedly authored by Trump and included in a birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein. Trump denies writing the letter, claiming the Journal published the story despite knowing it was false.
