Donald Trump's legal case against the Wall Street Journal over a story about the U.S. president and Jeffrey Epstein could face hurdles, one of which is that it does not appear to comply with Florida state rules over the timing of defamation lawsuits,

Donald Trump sued the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones in federal court on Friday, according to Reuters. The lawsuit seeks $10 billion per count over a report linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. Legal experts say the case may be dismissed because Trump did not comply with Florida’s five-day notice rule for defamation suits.

President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit Friday over a Wall Street Journal article related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Proving that the Wall Street Journal's reporting is false would require Trump to answer questions under oath about Jeffrey Epstein.
