[U.S. Federal Judge Dismisses Trump's Defamation Lawsuit Against The Wall Street Journal] Reported by Golden Finance, on April 14, a U.S. federal district court judge dismissed President Trump's defamation lawsuit against *The Wall Street Journal* on April 13. U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles of the Southern District of Florida ruled that Trump's allegations fell far short of the 'actual malice' standard that public figures must meet in defamation cases. In the lawsuit filed in July 2025, Trump and his attorneys accused *The Wall Street Journal* of publishing false reports regarding the 'Trump to Epstein letter,' claiming it damaged his reputation. The newspaper had previously reported that in 2003, Trump sent a letter to U.S. businessman Epstein congratulating him on his 50th birthday, which allegedly contained inappropriate illustrations and referenced shared 'secrets' between the two.
