A federal judge in Florida dismissed President Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal on April 13 over its reporting on a purported Jeffrey Epstein birthday letter, ruling it failed to plausibly allege actual malice but granting leave to file an amended complaint by April 27. Trump immediately stated his intent to refile, echoing his campaign against perceived media bias, yet trader consensus prices "No" at 55%, reflecting skepticism amid his packed agenda of executive actions, tariffs disputes, and other litigation. With 12 days remaining, historical patterns of delayed refilings in similar high-profile suits contribute to the closely contested odds.

"This market will resolve to 'Yes' if Donald Trump initiates or refiles a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal by April 27, 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.
