Judge dismisses Trump's defamation lawsuit against Wall Street Journal

Donald Trump's case against the Wall Street Journal over the Jeffrey Epstein 'birthday card' has been thrown out by a federal judge.

Trump sued the Rupert Murdoch-owned paper for $10 billion in damages after it published the letter last year, allegedly signed by the President and featuring a lewd drawing with the message: 'May every day be another wonderful secret.'

The President denied writing the letter and said the signature was not his.

Florida District Judge Darrin P. Gayles said in his order on Monday that Trump failed to show that the article was published with 'actual malice' - the legal standard for proving defamation.
