$10 billion is the damages Trump again seeks in a refiled Miami federal defamation suit accusing the Wall Street Journal of falsely linking him to Jeffrey Epstein through a birthday card he says was fake.
Judge Darrin Gayles threw out Trump's first complaint in April, finding it failed to meet the “actual malice” standard that public figures must satisfy in US defamation cases.
The amended suit names Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, CEO Robert Thomson and two WSJ reporters, alleging overwhelming financial and reputational harm from the article.
Dow Jones said it stands by the Journal's reporting and will fight the case, which adds to Trump's broader personal litigation against media outlets including the New York Times, BBC and Des Moines Register.
