Maxkamad Maraykan ah oo burisay dacwaddii Trump ka dhan ahayd Wall Street Journal

Garsooraha Darrin Gayles ayaa ku go'aamiyay in dacwadda si joogto ah loo tirtiray, isagoo sheegay in Trump uusan caddayn wax xumaan ah oo lala beegsaday.

Garsoore ka tirsan maxkamadda degmada Maraykanka oo fadhiya Miami, Darrin Gayles, ayaa Sabtidii si joogto ah u buriyay dacwaddii $10 bilyan ee Donald Trump ka dhan ahayd The Wall Street Journal iyo Rupert Murdoch, isagoo ku go'aamiyay in aan la caddayn wax xumaan ah oo lala beegsaday.

Sababta loo buriyay dacwadda

Garsooraha ayaa sheegay in dacwadda ay isku dayday in ay "manufacture" ka dhigto cilladaha ku jira baaritaanka Journal. Go'aanka waxa uu ku salaysan yahay go'aankii Maxkamadda Sare ee 1964 ee New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, kaas oo u baahan caddayn in warbaahintu si ula kac ah u daabacday wax been ah ama ay muujisay tixgelin la'aan xaqiiqada. Marka dacwad si joogto ah loo tirtiro, lama celin karo mar dambe.

Waxa uu garsooraha ku yidhi dacwadda

Gayles waxa uu qoray: "The Amended Complaint falls short of pleading actual malice. Indeed, the allegations regarding malice are conclusory, vague, sometimes inconsistent with the Article, and often irrelevant to whether Defendants knew or should have known that the statements in the Article were purportedly false." Waxa kale oo uu xusay in Journal uusan dayacin ama yareyn diidmada Trump, isagoo leh: "Rather, it informed readers that President Trump decried the Letter as a fake and denied writing it." Waxa uu intaa ku daray in eedaha kale ee dacwadda qaar ka mid ah aysan lahayn sal.

Taariikhda dacwadda iyo xiriirka warbaahinta

Dacwadda waxa ay ku saabsanayd sheeko Journal daabacday sanadkii hore oo ku saabsan warqad galmo iyo sawir uu wargeysku sheegay in magaca Trump ku qornaa, lagana helay albamkii 2003 ee loo sameeyay 50-guuradii Jeffrey Epstein. Warqadda waxa ururiyay Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump waxa uu beeniyay in uu qoray warqadda, isagoo sheegay in sheekadu tahay "false, malicious, and defamatory." Gayles waxa uu dacwadda hore u buriyay bishii April, isagoo Trump siiyay fursad uu ku soo gudbiyo dacwad wax laga beddelay, taas oo uu sameeyay bishii May.

Judge Darrin Gayles ruled the president did not prove actual malice over the Journal's reporting on an Epstein birthday letter.

A federal judge in Miami dismissed Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch with prejudice on Saturday, ruling that the president did not prove the defendants made defamatory statements with actual malice as required by law.

Judge Gayles finds the malice allegations fall short

In Saturday's ruling, U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles cited the Supreme Court's landmark 1964 decision in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, which requires proof that a media outlet knowingly published something false or showed a reckless disregard for the truth. The ruling said the lawsuit had attempted to "manufacture" flaws in the Journal's investigative reporting.

Gayles wrote: "The Amended Complaint falls short of pleading actual malice. Indeed, the allegations regarding malice are conclusory, vague, sometimes inconsistent with the Article, and often irrelevant to whether Defendants knew or should have known that the statements in the Article were purportedly false." He also said several other allegations in the lawsuit did not have merit.

A second dismissal, this time permanent

Gayles previously dismissed the suit in April, saying Trump had failed to make the argument that the article was published with the intent to be malicious, but gave the president a chance to file an amended complaint, which he did in May. Because the case was thrown out "with prejudice," it cannot be refiled again and the dismissal is permanent and incontrovertible.

The judge noted that the Journal's story did not ignore or minimize Trump's denial. "Rather, it informed readers that President Trump decried the Letter as a fake and denied writing it."

The disputed letter and the wider legal fight

The lawsuit concerned a Journal story published last year describing a sexually suggestive letter and drawing that the paper said bore Trump's name and was included in a 2003 album compiled for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday. The letter was reportedly collected by Ghislaine Maxwell years before Epstein was first arrested in 2006. According to the newspaper, the letter ends with, "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."

Trump denied writing the letter and called the story "false, malicious, and defamatory." The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Miami, accused the paper and its reporters of having "knowingly and recklessly" published "numerous false, defamatory, and disparaging statements." The White House did not immediately react publicly to Saturday's dismissal or respond to an AP request for comment.
