Abstract

(Bloomberg) -- A judge threw out Donald Trump's $10 billion libel suit against the Wall Street Journal and parent company News Corp., dealing a blow to the president's ongoing campaign of litigation against the media.The decision Monday in federal court in Miami largely vindicates a 2025 story that suggested Trump sent a lewd birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein more than two decades ago. The judge said the complaint failed to meet the legal standard for a defamation suit but gave Trump until April 27 to file a new complaint.©2026 Bloomberg L.P.By Erik LarsonReported by Author [Extracted from the article]
