Trump revives $10 billion defamation fight against Wall Street Journal

President Donald Trump is taking another swing at The Wall Street Journal, reviving a massive $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a report linking him to late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

According to The New York Times, Trump filed a revised complaint after a federal judge threw out his earlier case, ruling that he failed to show the newspaper acted with “actual malice.” The new lawsuit claims Journal executives and reporters knowingly pushed a false story about a birthday letter allegedly sent to Epstein. Trump insists the letter is fake and says the report damaged his reputation.

The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, is standing by its reporting. The legal showdown adds yet another chapter to Trump’s long-running battles with major news organizations.
