Sits on the federal bench, recently involved in ruling on a Trump-related defamation suit over a letter allegedly signed by the president and a contested drawing
A federal judge in Miami has dismissed President Trump’s $10bn defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones, ruling he failed to prove "actual malice." The case is dismissed with prejudice, barring refiling; the judge found the Journal conducted a "thoughtful and detailed investigation" into a 2003 letter tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
