A multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit by President Trump against The Wall Street Journal over a story reporting his ties to a birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein has been thrown out.

In a 20-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles in Miami dismissed the suit with prejudice on Saturday, ruling that Mr. Trump did not prove the defendants made defamatory statements with actual malice.

He said the lawsuit was "grasping at straws" as it attempted to "manufacture" flaws in the WSJ's investigative reporting.

Actual malice requires that plaintiffs prove that statements made about a public figure were published with the knowledge that they were false, or with disregard for whether they are true or not.

When a case is thrown out "with prejudice," it cannot be refiled again, and the dismissal is permanent and incontrovertible.

"President Trump will continue to press forward in his powerhouse lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and all of the other defendants," a spokesperson for Mr. Trump's legal team told CBS News in a statement. "The President will continue to hold those who mislead the American People with Fake News and smears accountable for their actions."

A source familiar with Mr. Trump's legal strategy said that the decision will likely be appealed.

'Waste of our time' | Trump administration officials respond to KARE 11 investigation into prison sale

Members of the Trump administration, visiting St. Cloud to discuss fraud on Friday, dismissed a question about federal overpayment for a Minnesota private prison.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed a question about a recent KARE 11 investigation into the federal government's overpayment for a private prison in Appleton, Minnesota, in the administration's first public response to the report.

KARE 11's reporting showed the Department of Homeland Security paid $495 million to purchase CoreCivic's abandoned private prison to use as an ICE facility, when that same facility was offered to the state one year earlier for $75 million.

The price difference for the prison sale, $420 million, is more than taxpayers are estimated to have lost in Minnesota’s much-publicized Feeding Our Future fraud scandal.

Bessent was joined by other members of the Trump administration at a press event in St. Cloud Friday to discuss the administration's "War on Fraud."

When the event opened to reporter questions, KARE 11's Lou Raguse asked Bessent, "If the administration has declared war on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, Minnesota, when the company offered it to the state of Minnesota for $75 million?"

https://nypost.com/2026/10/30/tech/sam-altman-roasted-over-comments-suggesting-ordinary-people-are-wasting-limited-computer-memory/

OpenAI boss Sam Altman is getting roasted online after suggesting it’s “quite terrible” that ordinary people are using up the world’s limited supply of computer memory instead of putting it to better use in the cloud.

The Bay Area tech billionaire made the eyebrow-raising remarks during a recent interview with Stripe President John Collison on his YouTube show, “Cheeky Pint,” where the pair chat over beers with founders, builders and business leaders.

Altman took issue with people using “a bunch” of the world’s limited supply of DRAM, a type of memory commonly found in PCs, laptops, smartphones and tablets.

The OpenAI chief argued that because the average person only uses their DRAM about 5% of the time, the world’s supply should be put to maximum use — particularly in what he described as a “very supply constrained environment.”

The comments quickly set off a RAMpage online, with viewers accusing Altman of suggesting that computer memory belongs in AI data centers rather than in the hands of everyday consumers.

“Bro’s talking about the ‘world’s limited supply of DRAM’ like he isn’t personally responsible for the world’s supply of DRAM being limited,” one commenter wrote.

>Vivek Ramaswamy has spent years being described as a former nationally ranked junior tennis player. According to the sport's governing body, however, that was never actually the case.
>
>With Ohio's governor's race just days away, new reporting has put the Republican nominee's tennis résumé under the microscope.
>
>The tennis claim has followed Ramaswamy for more than a decade. As tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg detailed, a 2015 Forbes profile called him "a nationally ranked junior tennis player whose serve could hit 120mph." Similar language showed up in his 2020 Soros Fellowship bio and a 2022 New Yorker profile.
>
>Rothenberg found that the available records paint a different picture. In 2002, Ramaswamy was ranked 48th in the 16-and-under division of the USTA's Midwest section, a regional ranking, and he played No. 3 singles for his high school team at St. Xavier in Cincinnati.
>
>Tennis has also become part of the campaign. An ad from Ohioans for Lower Costs, a group funded by the Democratic Governors Association, even includes the line "His favorite sport is tennis."
>
>"The U.S. Tennis Association has no records of him being a nationally ranked junior tennis player, period," Torre said in a clip posted by the show. "And when I reached out to the USTA myself, they sent me every one of their yearbooks from the 1990s and the 2000s. It is very clear based on these records, which they double-checked for PTFO, that Vivek Ramaswamy was never noted to be nationally ranked."
>
>Torre also noted that while the tennis line stayed in place, other parts of Ramaswamy's biography got scrubbed. According to Wikipedia's edit history, a paid editor removed lines about Ramaswamy's Soros Fellowship and his role on Ohio's COVID-19 response team.
>
>"I just didn't know you could do that," said D.J. Byrnes, who has written about Ramaswamy's sports credentials for The Rooster.

Trump will rally in Iowa and Kansas after initially canceling weekend trips before midterms

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has rescheduled weekend campaign rallies in a pair of critical Midwestern states that he had previously canceled, according to a person familiar with the plans.

The Republican president will now visit Iowa and Kansas for back-to-back campaign rallies on Sunday, said the person, who insisted on anonymity to discuss his schedule.

The scheduling whiplash underscored the chaotic and shifting nature of the final days of the midterm campaigns, in which Trump and Republicans are scrambling to retain their majorities in Congress in an election that has turned largely on affordability issues and the president’s favorability. At the start of the month, Trump promised a marathon sprint of his signature rallies to shore up Republican candidates, and he has headlined 25 of them so far in October.

The president on Thursday furiously pushed back at the notion that the initial cancellation of his Kansas rally, which became public as he was returning to Washington from another campaign event in South Carolina, was tied to fatigue or his health. He lashed out at a reporter who asked about canceling the event in Kansas, where GOP Sen. Roger Marshall is running for reelection.

“I’m not going to Kansas because he’s doing very well,” Trump said, seeming to refer to Marshall. The president added that “I feel perfect” and that “I don’t feel I have to go to Kansas.”

https://www.news5cleveland.com/homepage-showcase/brook-park-restaurant-owner-front-row-joe-arrested-on-child-sexual-abuse-material-charges

A Brook Park restaurant owner has been indicted on 10 felony charges related to alleged possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.

In a news release, Cuyahoga prosecutors said a grand jury returned an indictment against Adam Radogna, 37, for possessing dozens of files containing child sexual abuse materials Wednesday.

The charges include:

Two counts of illegal use of a minor or impaired person in nudity-oriented material or performance, both second-degree felonies.
Seven counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor or impaired person, all second-degree felonies.
One count of possessing criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony.

Prosecutors said members of the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at Radogna's residence Oct. 22.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6182999-alaska-election-verification-stopped-peltola-probe/
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) suggested Thursday his state’s midterm election certification process may be “stopped or changed” because of its investigation into ballot-stacking allegations against Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola.

NewsNation’s Blake Burman asked Dunleavy about the state’s probe into Peltola, which the governor announced earlier that day, and whether it could impact how election officials plan to certify midterm winners.

“We are going to investigate it. We’re going to follow the law,” Dunleavy told Burman. “We are ready to do whatever we need to do to ensure that our elections are deemed credible.”

“If we find out there’s wrongdoing, and if that means that the certification then is stopped or changed, then that’s what happens,” the governor added later in the conversation.

Burman then pressed Dunleavy on whether he believes there’s a legitimate possibility Alaska may need to stop or change its election certification, to which the GOP governor responded, “Depending upon the outcomes of this investigation, yes.”

The New York Times reported Wednesday Peltola’s campaign recruited a man named Dan J. Sullivan to run against incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) in an effort to confuse voters. Peltola is challenging the GOP lawmaker in the Alaska Senate race.

The former congresswoman’s campaign has denied it played a role in recruiting Dan J. Sullivan.

A Trans student on University Of Utah, campus during a simple question polling event, "are there only 2 genders", "yes" or "no" chose a third option, beginning a violent confrontation with a conservative student, assaulting and tearing off the victim's clothing, after calling for the murder of republicans.

""Do you believe that we should have the right to freedom of speech?" one of the College Republicans asks.

"No," laughs Grace. "I think Republicans should be shot in the street, personally."

"So you're advocating for straight up violence toward people you disagree with?" the student asks.

Then Grace appears to lunge forward and attack the student.

"Stop! Get off! What the f**k?" the student yells. "Get away from me! Get off me! Holy s**t!"

Grace ripped the student's shirt in the attack."

>At least three documents within the Epstein files show that Attorney General Todd Blanche received classified material in the tranche and did not release it—even as Blanche continuously insisted that the Justice Department wasn’t withholding any documents for any reason.
>Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ was required to release all files related to the prosecution of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, except those pertaining to national security. Blanche, however, claimed that “no files are being withheld or redacted on that basis.”
>“There’s not some tranche of super-secret documents about Jeffrey Epstein that we’re withholding, we’re actually not withholding anything based upon [national defense information],” Blanche said in January.
>New reporting from CBS News contradicts that, finding that at least three of the documents in the public Epstein files point to Blanche receiving classified information that was never released, even as he claimed none of the material met the national security requirement. While it is still unclear what exactly is in the classified material, the missing documents include files pertaining to Epstein’s finances.
>“Financial records were not a permissible category for removal,” Barbara McQuade, the former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, said to CBS News.
>This is yet another example of the Trump administration refusing to be fully transparent and honest about something that the president campaigned on being transparent and honest about.
>“Trump is named over 38,000 times in the Epstein files, as are other members of his administration and his close associates—with accusations of rape, child rape, assault, trafficking and more,” Campaign for New York Health executive director Melanie D’Arrigo wrote. “It’s not a coincidence that classified documents are missing while he controls them.

President Karol Nawrocki, Poland’s head of state aligned with the right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS), canceled a Friday trip to Senegal and is heading back to Warsaw amid what his allies are calling a “coup d’état.”

Metropolitan Police Headquarters announced Friday that its officers are “carrying out statutory activities at the premises of the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw” — the nation’s highest court. Authorities have removed security from the premises and put up barriers around the area as they attempt to restore “public order” amid a forced change of leadership.

“At such a moment, the President must be in Poland. I’m interrupting my flight to Senegal. I’m returning,” Nawrocki wrote on social media.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a bitter political adversary of Nawrocki and the Constitutional Tribunal, took credit for the raid and said it was necessary to prevent lawlessness.

“Restoring the rule of law is our duty,” Tusk announced late Friday. “After years of PiS-led lawlessness, this is a difficult process, sometimes painful, and it requires decisive action. There is no other way.”

Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, the longest-tenured judge on the Constitutional Tribunal, has been appointed interim president after the removal of court president Bogdan Swieczkowski. This was reflected on the court’s website.

However, the Constitutional Tribunal’s account on social media platform X issued a contradictory statement: “An unlawful takeover of the Constitutional Tribunal’s website has occurred. The President of [the Constitutional Tribunal] remains Bogdan Święczkowski, and the Vice-President is Bartłomiej Sochański. Ms. Anna Korwin-Piotrowska is not a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal. All persons participating in these actions are committing the crime of a coup d’état.”

https://pagesix.com/2026/10/29/celebrity-news/anonymous-celeb-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-threatens-third-suicide-attempt-if-named/

An unidentified male celebrity threatened to attempt suicide for a third time if publications expose his identity and the multiple sexual misconduct allegations against him.

The celebrity, referred to as PPT, is currently accused of using “his power and position as a celebrity to contact and forge relationships with young women and teenagers to try to have sex with them.”

On Tuesday, the celebrity’s legal team asked London’s High Court for an injunction to block articles from being published, arguing that their client would be “highly likely” to attempt suicide if they were released, the BBC reported.

The attorney representing PPT, Sara Mansoori KC, told the court her client attempted suicide twice after he received notice from publications Guardian News Media and ITN, requesting a comment on the allegations. PPT was released from the hospital after the first attempt and soon tried again.

“The claimant has attempted suicide twice as a result of these matters, been hospitalized for months, been the subject of involuntary detention and been examined by multiple — now more than 10 doctors,” Mansoori told the court, adding that PPT “has no intention of returning to public life.”

His legal team claimed their client’s third suicide attempt would be a result of concern about “trial by media” rather than wrongdoing.

Also during the hearing, the anonymous man vehemently denied the accusations of sexual misconduct against him.
