Summary
Donald Trump has filed an amended defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company Dow Jones, Rupert Murdoch, and others over a story about a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

The revised lawsuit again names the same co-defendants and challenges the Journal's reporting on a letter in Trump's name that was included in Epstein-related documents.
