President Donald Trump has been dealt an early blow in his libel lawsuit against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal. The case was assigned to a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama.

Here’s what President Donald Trump would have to prove to win his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal.

Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal over claims he once wrote a letter to Epstein that included a doodle of a nude woman & an ode to the pair's secrets.

The two socialized together frequently in New York City and Palm Beach from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. In 2002, Trump praised Epstein to a reporter as a “terrific guy” — and curiously added that he “likes beautiful women” on “the younger side.”

President Trump is seeking an unprecedented amount of damages in his lawsuit challenging a Wall Street Journal report about his Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s unclear how the president would pass the demanding test for public figure plaintiffs in defamation cases or how he’d win big bucks in the process.
