Judge dismisses Trump's Wall Street Journal lawsuit
A US judge has dismissed President Donald Trump's lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story about a birthday card he allegedly sent Jeffrey Epstein.
What the coverage shows
All nine outlets converge on the court throwing out Trump’s lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over reporting tied to Jeffrey Epstein, with several naming Rupert Murdoch as a defendant too. CBS News, The Independent and The Hill are the clearest in foregrounding that the dismissal was with prejudice or permanent, while NBC News and CNBC emphasize the dollar amount and NBC is alone in calling it a $10 billion suit. NPR is alone in quoting the judge’s “grasping at straws” remark, and Axios is alone in stressing that this was the second court setback this year.
