Trump Refiles the $10 Billion Epstein Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal (5/28/26)


Donald Trump has refiled a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, specifically an article describing a birthday card to Epstein as bearing Trump’s signature. The new filing came after a federal judge threw out Trump’s earlier complaint in April, ruling that it failed to meet the “actual malice” standard required in defamation cases involving public figures. Trump’s lawyers argue that the paper either recklessly disregarded the truth or deliberately avoided discovering it, while Trump maintains the card is fake, even after lawmakers investigating Epstein released it publicly.

The lawsuit names Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones, News Corp, CEO Robert Thomson, and two Wall Street Journal reporters as defendants, claiming the reporting caused Trump major reputational and financial harm. Dow Jones has defended the reporting and said it will fight the case. The broader significance is that the lawsuit sits inside a larger pattern of Trump using defamation actions against media organizations while the Epstein issue continues to haunt his political orbit. It also keeps the Epstein connection alive in court rather than burying it, because every filing, defense response, discovery fight, and judicial ruling has the potential to drag the underlying questions about Trump, Epstein, the card, and the paper trail back into public view.
