Trump refiles $10 billion defamation suit against WSJ over report on Epstein ties
The amended complaint again accuses the paper and its executives of publishing false claims and seeking to damage Trump’s reputation and finances.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump refiled a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, alleging the publication defamed him regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein after a federal judge dismissed an earlier complaint.
- District Judge Darrin Gayles dismissed the initial complaint in April, ruling Trump failed to meet the "actual malice" legal standard required for defamation cases involving public figures.
- The amended lawsuit filed in Miami names News Corp, Dow Jones, News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, Khadeeja Safdar, and Joseph Palazzolo as defendants, alleging "overwhelming" financial and reputational harm.
- Dow Jones stated it has "full confidence" in the reporting and will vigorously defend the lawsuit, which centers on a disputed birthday card allegedly bearing Trump's signature.
- This case marks the latest in a series of legal actions Trump has brought against media organizations, which critics argue is part of a broader pressure campaign against the press.
