A federal judge dismissed President Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal on April 13, 2026, over its reporting on a Jeffrey Epstein birthday letter, granting leave to file an amended complaint by April 27; Trump announced plans to refile but no new filing occurred by that deadline. On May 13, the court denied Trump's discovery request aimed at reviving the case, reducing momentum for renewed litigation amid his packed presidential agenda. Traders weigh Trump's history of aggressive media defamation suits—often refiled after setbacks—against this procedural stasis and lack of recent threats, with the market resolving on a new lawsuit filing by May 31. No further court dates are scheduled.

"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.
