Trump has refiled a $10 billion defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal and parent News Corp over a WSJ report linking him closely to Jeffrey Epstein. The amended complaint was filed Wednesday night local time in federal court in Florida, submitted before a judge-set deadline. An earlier complaint in the same case was dismissed by the judge, who found the plaintiff failed to sufficiently allege the reporting was made with "actual malice" — the high legal threshold for defamation claims involving public figures. The suit targets a Wall Street Journal article published in July 2025 that reported Trump sent a "lewd" birthday card to Epstein in 2003; Trump has repeatedly said the card was forged.
