What we found

Supports. Claims Journal reports that after Judge Gayles dismissed the original suit in April, Trump filed a renewed $10 billion version in May, which the Journal contested.[4]

Supports. Reuters reports that Trump's second attempt to sue the Journal was dismissed with prejudice on October 31, 2026, ending his pursuit of the defamation lawsuit.[1]

Supports. AP and NPR report that a federal judge in Miami threw out Trump's $10 billion suit against the Journal and Rupert Murdoch on October 31, 2026, so the suit was active until that date.[2][3]

Supports. CNBC reports that Trump, who denied writing the letter, plans to appeal the dismissal, which bars refiling in the district court.[5]

Context. The post's wording 'Trump is suing that newspaper' matches the claim's extraction, and the claim does not add any figure or actor beyond the passage.
