News Corp, the Murdoch family-owned parent company of The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, is suing Brave AI for copyright infringement, alleging it scraped and sold their content.

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a second dismissal of a $10 billion defamation lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over an article about a letter he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. The court previously dismissed the case, citing insufficient evidence of actual malice, and the Journal argues the amended complaint still fails to meet the required standard.
