The Wall Street Journal, its parent company and Rupert Murdoch asked a federal judge to dismiss Donald Trumpās $10 billion defamation lawsuit over the publicationās report on the presidentās past connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
āThe First Amendmentās protections for truthful speech are the backbone of the Constitution,ā the Journalās attorneys wrote in their motion.
The attorneys also challenged the notion the that the article could have damaged Trumpās reputation, noting that he had āpublicly admitted to ālocker room talkā and has made numerous bawdy public statements,ā as well as to his relationship with Epstein.
Honestly I wish the judge doesnāt dismiss it so we can get to discovery and have lawyers depose Mr Trump. So much stuff would come out of that.
Iāve got my popcorn ready, but I wonāt get my hopes up yet.
Yeah, youāre gonna have some really stale popcorn if you wait till consequences are actually happening.
