A judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over the publication of a letter purportedly written and signed by the president for inclusion in a birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump brought the legal action after the newspaper published the letter. The supplied information does not state when or where the ruling was issued, identify the judge or provide details of the legal arguments made by either side.
The letter’s authorship and signature are described as purported rather than independently established in the available material. No further details have been provided about the court’s reasoning, any damages sought or whether Trump intends to appeal.
The latest known position is that the lawsuit has been dismissed.
