A federal judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, and the journalists and publishers who reported on an alleged birthday letter to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which the president claims does not exist.
The letter — allegedly signed by Trump and featuring a sexually suggestive drawing and a birthday wish that says “may every day be another wonderful secret” — was first published by the newspaper and then shared with members of Congress by the Epstein estate last year.
