WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge dismissed President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch on Monday over a story on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.


U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles in Florida wrote in the order that Trump had failed to make the argument that the article was published with the intent to be malicious, but gave the president a chance to file an amended complaint.

Trump filed the lawsuit in July, following up on a promise to sue the paper almost immediately after it put a new spotlight on his well-documented relationship with Epstein by publishing an article that described a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper said bore Trump’s signature and was included in a 2003 album compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday.

No case means no case. Trump is lashing out at his perceived enemies. Just challenging his version of the truth, makes them an enemy. His mental decline is getting worse and no one cares.
 
Trump doesn't seem to think he needs to actually make real legal arguments in his lawsuits.
 
Dupe

 
A federal judge on Monday tossed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal for reporting on a racy letter he purportedly wrote to commemorate Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003.


U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles concluded that Trump came “nowhere close” to asserting that the newspaper’s actions revealing the existence and contents of the note amounted to the “actual malice” needed for Trump to prevail in a defamation case.

Quite the opposite,” Gayles, a Florida-based Obama appointee, wrote in the 17-page decision.

Gayles emphasized the paper’s extensive work to confirm the authenticity of the letter, despite Trump’s claim it was a fake, and noted that the article included the president’s objection and revealed attempts to contact the FBI and Justice Department for comment.

Trump hates it when the truth is told about him. No grounds for lawsuit existed and he knew it
 
Why did you dupe yourself? :dunno:
