A New Jersey judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit for defamation filed by Donald Trump against a New York Times business journalist whose book gave an estimate of the real estate developer’s wealth much lower than Trump’s own, Reuters reports.

“‘There is no agency relationship,’ Fox said in her opinion.
