A federal judge dismissed President Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, Rupert Murdoch, and reporters on April 13, 2026, over a story detailing an entry in Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book allegedly from Trump, ruling it failed to adequately plead "actual malice" required for public figures. The dismissal was without prejudice, granting until April 27 to file an amended complaint. Trump stated on Truth Social he would refile by the deadline, echoed by his legal team's spokesman, but no such filing has been publicly reported as of May 1. The market hinges on verifiable court docket confirmation of a refiled suit meeting the deadline; absent that, resolution favors no action, with no scheduled hearings noted.

"This market will resolve to 'Yes' if Donald Trump initiates or refiles a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to 'No'.
Both novel lawsuits and amended complaints against the Wall Street Journal will qualify, including amended complaints that assert new or revised allegations. Appeals, motions for reconsideration, or other actions that do not assert new or amended claims will not count.
An announcement of intent to sue or a legal threat will not qualify; a lawsuit must actually be filed in court.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the relevant court. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
