Wall Street Journal Seeks Dismissal of Trump's Revised Defamation Lawsuit Over Epstein Letter Story
By
Ted Johnson
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The Wall Street Journal is asking a judge to dismiss Donald Trump's revised defamation lawsuit, arguing that the new filing is merely a "re-package" of claims that were already dismissed by the court. Trump sued the Journal, News Corp., and Rupert Murdoch over a story about a 2003 birthday letter sent under Trump's name to Jeffrey Epstein. The Journal's legal team contends the revised lawsuit does not fix the defects identified in the court's previous dismissal order and actually makes them worse.
