A judge has dismissed Donald Trump's lawsuit against a newspaper over its reporting on his alleged birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein featuring a drawing of a naked woman.
The judge at the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida said the president had failed to show actual malice by the Wall Street Journal, meaning his defamation claim must be thrown out.
It is the second time that Judge Darrin Gayles has thrown out the lawsuit, which Mr Trump filed in July 2025 seeking billions in damages.
