US judge dismisses Trump’s lawsuit against Wall Street Journal with prejudice

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by President Trump against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch. The legal action concerned reporting regarding Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The judge threw out the case with prejudice, marking the second instance this year that courts have blocked Trump's attempts to sue the publication over stories involving the disgraced financier. This development concludes the current legal effort to challenge the paper's reporting on these specific ties.
