What happened: A US federal judge in Florida dismissed Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and its owners. The case concerned a birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein.
Why it matters:
- The dismissal ends a high-profile legal battle involving a former US president and a major media company.
- It highlights ongoing tensions between public figures and the press over alleged defamation claims.
MNN Take: The court found insufficient grounds to proceed with the defamation claim, reflecting the legal challenges in proving such cases against media organisations.
