Federal Judge Tosses Out Trump’s $10 Billion Lawsuit Against The Wall Street Journal

HeadlineApr 14, 2026

A federal judge dismissed President Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its owner Rupert Murdoch on Monday. Trump’s lawsuit targeted the outlet’s reporting that he had contributed a letter that included a sketch drawing of a naked woman to a birthday album for the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday. The letter was later released publicly by Congress, which subpoenaed the records from Epstein’s estate. The judge granted President Trump’s legal team a chance to refile an amended lawsuit before April 27.
