In the day's other headlines, a federal judge has dismissed President Trump's $10 billion

defamation lawsuit against the publisher of the Wall Street Journal for a story on the president's

ties to the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

That article from last summer centered on a sexually suggestive letter written for Epstein's

50th birthday that appears to bear Trump's

signature. The president denies writing it. The ruling marks the latest setback to the president

and his efforts to manage fallout from the Epstein files. Mr. Trump's legal team said they would

refile the suit. The Trump administration says it will allow the Stonewall National Monument in New York

to fly a rainbow pride flag once again. That reverses an administration directive to remove it back

in February, which drew fierce backlash. It also settles a high-profile lawsuit from LGBTQ-plus groups

and historic preservationists.

The site is the first ever national monument commemorating LGBTQ Plus history.

Pending a judge's approval, the pride flag will return to a federal flagpole raised between

an American flag and the Park Service flag.

A new study found that deadly anti-Semitic attacks around the world last year were the

highest scene in more than three decades.

In all, 20 people were killed across three continents.

Fifteen of those people were killed in the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney,

Australia's Bondi beach. Other deadly attacks were recorded in the U.S. and the UK.

The annual report from Tel Aviv University said the violence is part of a spike following Hamas'

October 7th attack on Israel and Israel's war in Gaza that followed.
