00:02A federal judge dismissed President Trump's defamation lawsuit against the publisher of
00:07The Wall Street Journal after ruling he failed to meet the legal standard for defamation,
00:12according to The Wall Street Journal. U.S. District Judge Darren Gales said Trump did not show
00:17actual malice by the newspaper or its reporters in publishing an article about a letter tied to
00:22Jeffrey Epstein bearing Trump's name. In July, the Journal reported that a 2003 birthday book
00:28for Jeffrey Epstein included a letter signed Donald with typewritten text framed by the
00:33outline of a naked woman. The article included comments from Trump denying he wrote the letter
00:38and warning of legal action. Trump has until April 27th to file an amended complaint and his legal team
00:45said he plans to refile. The publisher said it stands by its reporting. For all things money,
