US Judge Dismisses Trump’s Defamation Suit Against Wall Street Journal

A U.S. federal judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal. Judge Darrin P. Gayles ruled the complaint failed to meet the “actual malice” standard required for public figures. He noted the Journal reached out to Trump before publication and included his denial in the article. The judge gave Trump until April 27 to file an amended complaint. Trump has said he will pursue this step via his social media platform. The case underscores ongoing tensions between the former president and major media outlets.
